TLDR
In this article, instead of applying a thermal boundary condition to solute transport, the authors rigorously derive the distribution function boundary condition for the total solute concentration, which is achieved first by correcting an expression of the particle distribution function in terms of the corresponding concentration and its gradient and then by deriving and using the relation that the nonequilibrium portion of the distribution functions in opposite directions takes on opposite signs.Abstract:
[1] In this paper, we improve the lattice Boltzmann pore-scale model for multicomponent reactive transport in porous media developed in a previous study. Instead of applying a thermal boundary condition to solute transport, we rigorously derive the distribution function boundary condition for the total solute concentration. This is achieved first by correcting an expression of the particle distribution function in terms of the corresponding concentration and its gradient and then by deriving and using the relation that the nonequilibrium portion of the distribution function in opposite directions takes on opposite signs. We implement the new boundary condition in both the two-dimensional nine-speed (D2Q9) and four-speed (D2Q4) lattices. Simulations of reactive transport in various chemical and geometrical systems using different models are carried out, and results are compared to analytic expressions or two-dimensional FLOTRAN simulations. It is found that with this new boundary condition, the solute mass is strictly conserved by heterogeneous reactions, as was not the case using the thermal boundary condition. It is also found that compared with the D2Q9 model, the D2Q4 model has comparable accuracy and better computational efficiency.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the benefits and drawbacks of using CO2 as a working fluid for shale gas production were analyzed using a combination of new experimental and modeling data at multiple scales, and the potential advantages of CO2 including enhanced fracturing and fracture propagation, reduction of flow blocking mechanisms, increased desorption of methane adsorbed in organic-rich parts of the shale, and a reduction or elimination of the deep re-injection of flow-back water that has been linked to induced seismicity and other environmental concerns.

Nanoscale simulation of shale transport properties using the lattice Boltzmann method: permeability and diffusivity
TL;DR: It is found that most of the values of correction factor fall in the slip and transition regime, with no Darcy flow regime observed, indicating Knudsen diffusion always plays a role on shale gas transport mechanisms in the reconstructed shales.

TL;DR: It is shown that the lattice BoltZmann equation is a special discretized form of the Boltzmann equation, which means that the two-dimensional 6-bit, 7-bit and 9-bit models derived include the three-dimensional 27- bit models.
