Study on Heat Transfer of Fluid in a Porous Media by VOF Method with Fractal Reconstruction by Shuai Liu, Qingyong Zhu, Wenjun Xu

“…Through numerical simulation, the influence of the evaporation coefficient on the flow and heat transfer rate can be determined. Key findings from numerical simulations reveal the following: (1) Heat transfer rates decrease with increasing fractal dimension (surface complexity) and evaporation coefficient; (2) As the thermal Rayleigh number increases, the influence of the Marangoni number on heat transfer diminishes; (3) The coupling of buoyancy and Marangoni effects in porous media with complex evaporation surfaces significantly alters flow and heat transfer patterns compared to smooth-surfaced porous media. …”

Influence of Water Injection Pressure on Methane Gas Displacement by Coal Seam Water Injection by Tianwei Shi, Yishan Pan, Wenhong Zheng, Aiwen Wang

“…The test results show that with the same displacement time, the ratio of displaced methane increases with the increase in the water injection pressure. The displacement rate increases with the increase in the water injection pressure at the stage without water discharge, while the water displacement rate under different water injection pressures differed slightly; in the later displacement stage, a higher water injection pressure of the coal sample results in a faster attenuation of the displacement rate and water displacement rate due to the decrease in the methane content in the coal sample. …”
