Scientific seminar “Fundamentals in Peaceman model for well-block radius for non-linear flows near well”
22 February at 12:00 MSK
We consider sewing machinery between finite difference and analytical solutions defined at different scale: far away and near source of the perturbation of the flow. One of the essences of the approach is that coarse problem and boundary value problem in the proxy of the source model two different flows. We are proposing method to glue solution via total fluxes, which is predefined on coarse grid. It is important to mention that the coarse solution "does not see" boundary.
From industrial point of view our report provide mathematical tool for analytical interpretation of simulated data for fluid flow around a well in a porous medium. It can be considered as a mathematical "shirt" on famous Peaceman well-block radius formula for linear (Darcy) radial flow but can be applied in much more general scenario.
As an important case, we consider nonlinear Forchheimer flow. In the article we rigorously obtaine well-block radius, explicitly depending on β−Forchheimer factor and total rate of the flow on the well, and provide generalization of the Dake Formula and evaluation of the D−factor.
