Two-phase, one-component Darcy flow. More...

Description

A two-phase one-component flow model using the fully implicit scheme.

Note: The 2p1c model requires the use of the non-isothermal extension found in dumux/porousmediumflow/nonisothermal.

This model is designed for simulating two fluid phases with water as the only component. It is particularly suitable for the simulation of steam injection in saturated conditions.

The model implements the flow of two phases and one component, i.e. a pure liquid (e.g. water) and its vapor (e.g. steam), \(\alpha \in \{ w, n \}\) using a standard multi-phase Darcy approach as the equation for the conservation of momentum. For details on Darcy's law see dumux/flux/darcyslaw.hh.

By inserting Darcy's law into the equations for the conservation of the phase mass, one gets

\[ \frac{\partial\ \sum_\alpha (\phi \rho_\alpha S_\alpha)}{\partial t} \\-\sum \limits_ \alpha \nabla \cdot \left \{\rho_\alpha \frac{k_{r\alpha}}{\mu_\alpha} \mathbf{K} (\nabla p_\alpha - \rho_\alpha \mathbf{g}) \right \} -q^w =0, \]

where:

\( \phi \) is the porosity of the porous medium,
\( S_\alpha \) represents the saturation of phase \( \alpha \),
\( \rho_\alpha \) is the mass density of phase \( \alpha \),
\( k_{r\alpha} \) is the relative permeability of phase \( \alpha \),
\( \mu_\alpha \) is the dynamic viscosity of phase \( \alpha \),
\( \mathbf{K} \) is the intrinsic permeability tensor,
\( p_\alpha \) is the pressure of phase \( \alpha \),
\( \mathbf{g} \) is the gravitational acceleration vector,
\( q^w \) is a source or sink term.

By using constitutive relations for the capillary pressure \(p_c = p_n - p_w\) and relative permeability \(k_{r\alpha}\) and taking advantage of the fact that \(S_w + S_n = 1\), the number of unknowns can be reduced to two. The model features a primary variable switch. If only one phase is present, \(p_n\) and \(T\) are the primary variables. In the presence of two phases, \(p_n\) and \(S_w\) become the new primary variables.
