Pore-scale lattice Boltzmann simulation of micro-gaseous flow considering surface diffusion effect
Abstract
Some recent studies have shown that adsorbed gas and its surface diffusion have profound influence on micro-gaseous flow through organic pores in shale gas reservoirs. Here, a multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) LB model is adopted to estimate the apparent permeability of organic shale and a new boundary condition, which combines Langmuir adsorption theory with Maxwellian diffusive reflection boundary condition, is proposed to capture gas slip and surface diffusion of adsorbed gas. The simulation results match well with previous studies carried out using Molecular Dynamics (MD) and show that Maxwell slip boundary condition fails to characterize gas transport in the near wall region under the influence of the adsorbed gas. The total molar flux can be either enhanced or reduced depending on variations in adsorbed gas coverage and surface diffusion velocity. The effects of pore width, pressure as well as Langmuir properties on apparent permeability of methane transport in organic pores are further studied. It is found that the surface transport plays a significant role in determining the apparent permeability, and the variation of apparent permeability with pore size and pressure is affected by the adsorption and surface diffusion.
