NUMERICAL SIMULATION STUDY ON THE MICRO FLOW LAW OF SUPERCRITICAL CO2 IN POROUS MEDIA OF RESERVOIRS
ABSTRACT
Through the development of a mathematical model for micro-scale multi-phase flow of supercritical CO2 and a simplified geological reservoir micro-model, numerical simulations were executed using the open-source CFD software Open FOAM. The study systematically analyzed various engineering and geological parameters' influence on the micro-scale flow patterns of supercritical CO2 under reservoir temperature and pressure conditions. These insights provide guidance for designing process parameters in fracturing and storing supercritical CO2.
