A Flow and Transport Model in Porous Media for Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery Studies Using COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

M. A. Diaz-Viera [1], A. Ortiz-Tapia [1],
[1] Mexican Petroleum Institute, Mexico City, Mexico

A flow and transport model in porous media was implemented in COMSOL Multiphysics® software to simulate, analyze and interpret Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) processes at core scale under laboratory conditions. The flow model is biphasic and is based on the oil phase pressure ... Read More

[1] National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD, USA
[2] MPACT Corp., Oak Park, CA, USA
[3] XYZ Scientific Applications, Inc., Livermore, CA, USA

Uncertainty in COMSOL Multiphysics® software simulations due to (a) model parameter uncertainties and (b) mesh-induced truncation errors, is estimated using a design-of-experiments approach [1, 2, 3], and a nonlinear least squares logistics fit method [4, 5], respectively. Examples to ... Read More

COMSOL Multiphysics® Software and PV: A Unified Platform for Numerical Simulation of Solar Cells and Modules

M. Nardone [1],
[1] Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH, USA

Introduction: Existing solar cell (photovoltaic, PV) device simulation software is either open source with limited capabilities (1D only) [1,2] or extremely expensive with obscure functionality [3]. PV researchers need an accessible and versatile simulation tool to optimize existing ... Read More

[1]Department of Information Systems, Kulliyyah of Information and Communication Technology, International Islamic University Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

[2]Department of Physics, Kulliyyah of Science, International Islamic University Malaysia, Pahang, Malaysia

In this paper, we use a COMSOL Multiphysics® model to demonstrate the potential use of polymer microring resonator structures for optical biosensing applications. When the refractive index of the area surrounding the microring resonator changes, there is a shift in the resonance ... Read More

Optoelectronic Simulation of An Organic Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cell with COMSOL

Koh Wee Sing[1]
[1]Institute of High Performance Computing, Agency for Science, Technology, and Research, Singapore, Singapore

In this project, we developed a 3D optoelectronic model for organic bulk-heterojunction solar cells. We validated our COMSOL Multiphysics® model with experimental data and used our simulation to predict the optical and electrical characteristics of a 3D plasmonic OPV device. This work ... Read More

Rheological Behaviour of Single–Phase Non-Newtonian Polymer Solution in Complex Pore Geometry: A Simulation Approach

P. Idahosa[1], G. Oluyemi[2], R. Prabhu[2], B. Oyeneyin[2]
[1]IDEAS Research Institute/School of Engineering, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, United Kingdom.
[2]School of Engineering, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, United Kingdom.

One of the most important criteria for evaluating chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes that use polymers is its rheological behaviour which in turn account for other physical effects of adsorption and resistance factors during polymer-rock interactions. However, complete ... Read More

Analysis of Flow in a Microfluidic Device: Pressure Drop, RTD and Mixing

A. Kulkarni[1]
[1]NCL, Pune, Maharashtra, India

Continuous flow reactors are recently being used for lab scale synthesis as well as pilot scale manufacturing of high value low volume chemicals. Here we present our work on a new configuration of flow reactor that includes several 1800 bends and yet a varying radius of curvature thereby ... Read More
