Low-permeability (unconventional) hydrocarbon reservoirs exhibit a complex nanopore
structure and micro (µm)-scale variability in composition which control fluid distribution …

It is very difficult to characterize the transport properties of porous media due to the disorder
of pores distribution in porous media. In this paper, we study heat conduction through …

The effective thermal conductivity of unsaturated fibrous media is simulated by Fractal-Monte
Carlo simulations in this work. Based on the probability model and thermal-electrical …

Thermal conductivity is a key parameter governing heat transfer in rocks and soils with
applications to geothermal systems and groundwater studies. Its accurate measurement is …

Due to the computational simplicity and time efficiency, pore network and morphological
techniques are two practical approaches for characterization of pore-scale microstructures …

Although there is an analogy between electrical and thermal conductivities, rock electrical
parameters are mostly related to the pore system, whereas thermophysical properties mostly …

This paper develops a numerical model to describe the bottom ash cooling process based
on an actual power plant. By means of computational fluid dynamics, the influence of …

To reduce expenses, failures, ecological footprints, and uncertainty of reservoir appraisal
operations, digital rock physics workflows need to be evolved constantly. The traditional …

Abstract Low permeability ('tight') reservoirs have become a viable source of hydrocarbons
in North America because of horizontal drilling and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing. While …

This paper aims to study of the variation of key thermal properties (thermal diffusivity, heat
capacity, and derived values of thermal conductivity) of heavy oil saturated reservoir rock …
