报告内容：Spontaneous imbibition plays an important role in many subsurface applications such as enhanced oil/gas recovery in fractured reservoirs and geological sequestration of carbon dioxide. In those applications, the imbibition rate and the trapping of nonwetting phase are of great interest. To predict spontaneous imbibition by the two-phase Darcy model, a number of material properties need to be determined such as capillary pressure and relative permeability. Moreover, sharp wetting fronts observed in many core-scale experiments indicate that capillarity dynamics in spontaneous imbibition is strong, particularly at its early stage. This challenges conventional measurements of material properties which were mostly conducted in the equilibrium. In this talk, I will first introduce a novel dynamic pore-network model for spontaneous imbibition in porous media. Multiform idealized pore elements have been used to represent complex pore spaces so that our model bears the potential to quantitatively predict spontaneous imbibition for a ‘real’ porous medium. The model is used to understand capillarity dynamics at the pore scale. Then, I will address the upscaling of the pore-scale information to the REV-scale modeling of spontaneous imbibition. Finally, I will summarize the challenges in the REV-scale modeling of spontaneous imbibition in porous media; and further talk about how to include this capillarity dynamics in the two-phase model.
