• Waterflood simulation on strongly channelised SPE10 permeability data

  Numerical simulation of waterflooding a quarter five-spot pattern oil reservoir using a new hybrid method. The model uses a new global pressure formulation for incompressible

  multicomponent two-phase fluid flows. The numerical method is based on a combination of a discontinuous FEM and a Method of Characteristics based FDM.

  surfactant flood and surfactant-polymer flood. These are 4 main flooding schemes used in chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). The simulations are done on a 2D highly heterogeneous Upper Ness type permeability field extracted from the SPE10 dataset.

  The Big Event at Texas A&M University

  Volunteer for Pi Day of the Century celebrations

  Volunteered for the Pi Day of the Century celebrations at the Mathematics Department of Texas A&M. It was a huge event organized especially for children and young adults of the community to raise awareness about science and to inculcate a passion for mathematics. I was also a judge for events like the Pi digits memorization contest.

  Optimization of a managed aquifer recharge network

  Proceedings of the 2014 South Carolina Water Resources Conference

  Over the last few decades

  groundwater resources in many regions have been depleted at a faster rate than the underlying aquifers have been replenished. This imbalance has led water management agencies to consider managed aquifer recharge networks

  where infiltration basins are used to replenish the aquifers using previously-uncaptured storm water runoff. In this work

  we utilize optimization to evaluate the costs associated with constructing such a network and the ability of the network to meet demands placed on the aquifer. Our objective function incorporates land and construction costs

  along with rewards for effective aquifer recharge. We enforce capture of a minimum volume of storm water runoff by penalizing the cost. We present results for two\nbasin networks

  one based on results from the literature and another based on a study of the Pajaro Valley region in California. The Pajaro Valley example is used as our realistic test case

  and we use the analysis to suggest the viability of a managed aquifer recharge network in a particular sub-watershed associated with the area.

  Chemical enhanced oil recovery by surfactant-polymer (SP) flooding has been studied in two space dimensions. A new global pressure for incompressible

  immiscible

  multicomponent two-phase porous media flow has been derived in the context of SP flooding. This has been used to formulate a system of flow equations that incorporates the effect of capillary pressure and also the effect of polymer and surfactant on viscosity

  interfacial tension and relative permeabilities of the two phases. The coupled system of equations for pressure

  water saturation

  polymer concentration and surfactant concentration has been solved using a new hybrid method in which the elliptic global pressure equation is solved using a discontinuous finite element method and the transport equations for water saturation and concentrations of the components are solved by a Modified Method Of Characteristics (MMOC) in the multicomponent setting. Numerical simulations have been performed to validate the method

  both qualitatively and quantitatively

  and to evaluate the relative performance of the various flooding schemes for several different heterogeneous reservoirs.

  Modeling and simulation of surfactant polymer flooding using a new hybrid method

  In this article

  the convergence of a hybrid numerical method introduced in Daripa & Dutta (2017) has been established. This method integrates a discontinuous finite element method with a modified method of characteristics (MMOC) in combination with finite difference (FD) procedures

  and has been successfully applied to solve a coupled system of nonlinear equations that arises in multicomponent two-phase porous media flows. The present convergence analysis is focused on the MMOC-FD procedure for a nonlinear system of transport equations. For this purpose

  an analogous single-component system of transport equations has been considered and some key ideas for possible extension to multicomponent systems have been briefly discussed. Error estimates have been obtained and these estimates have also been shown to be consistent with realistic numerical simulations of flows arising in enhanced oil recovery processes.

  I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). I did a PhD in Applied Mathematics from Texas A&M University. \n\nMy current research focuses on Model Order Reduction techniques for various complex fluid flow problems. I am also interested in Modelling and Analysis of fluid flow in porous media. I have expertise in numerical simulations of multiphase

  multicomponent fluid flows which are described by coupled nonlinear advection-diffusion systems of PDEs and pose several analytical and computational challenges.\n

  Thesis Advisor: Dr. Prabir Daripa\n\nI worked on development and implementation of an efficient model to solve a coupled system\nof variable-coefficient

  elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations. The problem also involves the time-space evolution of an interface with discontinuity across it. \nThe model has specific application in the field of chemical enhanced oil recovery techniques like surfactant-polymer flooding. In this case

  we model the effect of polymer and surfactant on the capillary pressure and the interfacial tension between the fluids and also on rock-fluid properties like residual saturation and relative permeability. The coupled system of nonlinear equations is solved using a modern

  hybrid method that combines a non-traditional discontinuous finite element method and an implicit-time finite difference method based on the modified method of characteristics.
