Gas transport in partially-saturated sand packs
Behzad Ghanbarian, Shoichiro Hamamoto, Ken Kawamoto +4
Understanding gas transport in porous media and its mechanism has broad applications in various research areas, such as carbon sequestration in deep saline aquifers and gas explora…
Application of effective medium theory to estimate gas permeability in tight-gas sandstones
Behzad Ghanbarian, Carlos Torres-Verdin, Larry W. Lake +1
Upscaling Klinkenberg-corrected gas permeability, k, in unconventional tight sandstones has numerous practical applications, particularly in gas exploration and production. In this…
A geometrical aperture-width relationship for rock fractures
Behzad Ghanbarian, Edmund Perfect, Hui-Hai Liu
The relationship between fracture aperture (maximum opening; dmax) and fracture width (w) has been the subject of debate over the past several decades. An empirical power law has b…
Theoretical bounds for the exponent in the empirical power-law advance-time curve for surface flow
Behzad Ghanbarian, Hamed Ebrahimian, Allen G. Hunt +1
A fundamental and widely applied concept used to study surface flow processes is the advance-time curve characterized by an empirical power law with an exponent r and a numerical p…
