摘要: A finite-element scheme has been formulated, which is capable of solving transient analysis both conductive and convective heat transfers due to fluid flow in porous media. The model also includes the latent effect consider phase change aspect a frozen medium. To test validity model, it was applied six cases for analytical solutions are available. cover (i) single-phase through media, (ii) radial conduction with without change, (iii) transfer an aquifer, (iv) two-phase immiscible In all these cases, good agreement observed validating computational scheme. This should be useful ground problems, thermal stimulation technique natural gas recovery from hydrates, problems enhanced oil petroleum engineering.
