    • The Effect Of Image Resolution On Fluid Flow Simulations In Porous Media 

      Edie, Margaret S.; Olson, John F.; Burns, Daniel R.; Toksoz, M. Nafi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2000)
      Realistic simulations of flow in porous media are dependent upon having a three-dimensional, high resolution image of pore structure which is difficult to obtain. So, we ask the question, "How fine a resolution is necessary ...

    • Fluid Flow In Porous Media: NMR Imaging And Numerical Simulation 

      Edie, Margaret S.; Olson, John F.; Burns, Daniel R.; Toksoz, M. Nafi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 1999)
      We use nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging to obtain a three-dimensional image of the pore structure in a limestone core, 4.5 mm in diameter and 10 mm in length, with a resolution of 40 μm. This image is converted ...

    • Pore-Scale Simulation Of Experimentally Realizable, Oscillatory Flow In Porous Rock 

      Olson, John F. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 1999)
      We report new simulations of oscillating flow in porous rock. Our goal is to better understand the frequency dependence of pore-scale fluid motion, which should ultimately help us to interpret attenuation and electroseismic ...

    • Toward The Simulation Of Attenuation: Oscillatory Flow In Porous Rock 

      Olson, John F. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 1998)
      Fluid flow in porous rock due to an oscillatory pressure gradient is simulated. We observe distributions of density and velocity in the rock which point to viscous dissipation. We will use this method to seek a deeper ...
