Fractality of The Geysers

摘要: Heat convection at pore-scale, which is strongly dependent on the topology of pore space, remains poorly understood for geothermal reservoirs. This despite fundamental advances made in modeling heat transfer nano- and micro-scale conduits. With this mind, we analyze fractality space The Geysers to fully characterize its topology. We consider circular slit-like throat geometries represent aspect ratios close unity infinity, respectively. Our study shows that effective length follows general fractal rule. can have major implications understanding pore-scale by presenting a representative model Geysers.
