Title: Non-Richardson Scaling Laws in Turbulent Particle Pair Diffusion: The Role of Local and Non-local Diffusional Processes
Speaker: Nadeem A. Malik, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Mathematical Sciences
Abstract:
A re-appraisal of the Richardson's 1926 dataset [Richardson, L. F. Proc. Roy. Soc. Lond. A 100, 709–737, 1926] displays an unequivocal non-local scaling for the pair diffusion coefficient, , (Richardson’s locality scaling is ), where is the rms pair separation. Consequently, the foundations of turbulent pair diffusion theory have been re-examined and it is shown that pair diffusion is governed by both local and non-local diffusional processes inside the inertial subrange [Malik, N. A. PLoS ONE 13(10): e0202940, 2018a]. In the context of generalized energy spectra, for , the new theory predicts two non-Richardson regimes depending on the size of the inertial subrange: (1) in the limit of asymptotically infinite subrange, non-local scaling laws is obtained, , with intermediate between the purely local and the purely non-local scalings, i.e. < 2; and (2) for finite (short) inertial subrange, a quasi-local scaling laws are obtained, . All the predictions of the new theory have been confirmed numerically [Malik, N. A. PLoS ONE, submitted 2018b] using the Lagrangian diffusional model Kinematic Simulations (KS) [Malik, N. A. PLoS ONE, 12 (12): e0189917 (2017)]. The theory has been extended to inertial particle pair diffusion in the Stokes drag limit where we observe a two-parameter family of scaling laws: for short times the diffusion is ballistic as the particle inertia ‘punch’ their way through the turbulence at small scales, and for long times the motions approach the fluid pair diffusion regimes as the turbulent energies at larger scales overpower the particle inertia, provided that the inertial subrange is big enough.

Title: A Realistic Transport Model for Gas Flow in Tight Porous Media
Speaker: Nadeem A. Malik, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Mathematical Sciences
Abstract:
A nonlinear transport model for single-phase gas flow in tight porous media has been developed [Ali I & Malik N. A. Transp Porous Med 124(3):723-742, (2018)]. The model incorporates many important physical processes that occur in such porous systems: continuous flow, transition flow, slip flow, Knudsen diffusion, adsorption and desorption into and out of the rock material, and a correction for high flowrates. This produces a nonlinear partial differential equation with pressure-dependent model parameters and associated compressibility coefficients, and highly nonlinear apparent diffusivity. A key finding is that all model parameters should be kept pressure dependent for the best results. An application is to the determination of rock properties, such as porosity and permeability, by history matching of the simulation results to data from pressure-pulse decay tests in a rock core sample [Pong et al. ASME Fluids Eng Div 197:51–56, (1994)]. Possible applications are to gas flow in shale rocks.
