Abstract

Abstract: For understanding foam rheology in porous media, experimental investigations were carried out concerning foam lamellae flow characteristics in a straight tube. Foam is treated as single phase non-Newtonian fluid and its flow behavior was studied based on power law constitutive model. It is observed the film foam flow exhibits remarkably high apparent viscosity and obvious shear-thinning behavior, with flow consistency coefficient of K=0.11 and flow behavior index of n=0.61 for CO₂ foam. Parameter studies were carried out for different internal gas types. It is found N₂ foam is stronger than CO₂ foam due to the water solubility of CO₂ gas. Non-dimensional analysis was performed and a fit model with a threshold value of 0.71 was proposed based on experimental data, which indicates a startup pressure difference is necessary to mobilize the lamellae. The fit model is deemed to predict foam dynamic flow behavior in porous media in a more realistic and accurate manner.

摘要： 针对泡沫液在多孔介质内的流动特点，对泡沫薄膜液在直管内的流变学特性进行了实验研究。按单相幂律流体假设，获得二氧化碳及氮气泡沫薄膜液的表观黏度数据。结果表明：泡沫薄膜液具有较大表观黏度并呈现剪切变稀的非牛顿流体特性。由于水溶性影响，二氧化碳泡沫液的表观黏度要小于氮气泡沫液。利用量纲分析法确定量纲1参数，对泡沫薄膜液的流变学特性进行了量纲1分析并给出基于两相流动分析的阻力模型。
