본 연구에서는 단일절리에서 2상유체 동시거동을 해석하기 위해서 2차원 유한차분 수치모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 모형은 압력에 따른 점성의 변화가 포화도에 따른 상대투과계수의 변화를 절리간극의 크기별로 고려할 수 있다. 수치기법으로는 IMPES해법을 적용하여 물과 가스의 압력변화량과 포화도를 차례로 구하였다. 개발된 수치 모형에 이용할 상대투과계수의 특성식 도출을 위해서 일곱가지 경우의 평판모형실험을 실시하였다. 실험으로부터 도출된 상대투과계수 특성곡선은 기존의 경험식으로는 표현되기 어려웠으며, 따라서 새로운 경험식으로 로지스틱 방정식을 제시하였다. 이 방정식은 간극의 크기가 포함된 매개변수를 사용하였기 때문에 임의의 절리 간극크기의 적용이 가능한 형태이다.

The numerical simulation of a two-phase flow In a discrete fracture network model is presented in this paper, The purpose of this work is to consider density-driven flows induced by the density difference between hot autochthonous heavy brines and injected cold water. Mechanical consequences of high pressure waves on the fracture permeability and heat exchanges between fluids and rock matrix are neglected in this study. The finite volume method is employed to discretize spatially and the system is solved by using an IMPES(Implicit Pressure-Explicit Saturation) scheme. In order to solve the strong non-linearity of the system, the Newton-Raphson algorithm is used. The well-known Buckeley-Leverett problem is adapted to validate results calculated from the model and a relatively good agreement is obtained.

Gas hydrates are solid solutions when water molecules are linked through hydrogen bonding and create host lattice cavities that can enclose many kinds of guest(gas) molecules. There are plenty of methane(gas) hydrate in the earth and distributed widely at offshore and permafrost. Several schemes, to produce methane hydrates, have been studied. In this study, depressurization method has been utilized for the numerical model due to it's simplicity and effectiveness. IMPES method has been used for numerical analysis to get the saturation and velocity profile of each phase and pressure profile, velocity of dissociation front progress and the quantity of produced gas. The values calculated for the sample length of 10m, show that methane hydrates has been dissolved completely in approximately 223 minutes and the velocity of dissociation front progress is 3.95㎝ per minute. The volume ratio of the produced gas in the porous media is found to be about 50%. Analysing the saturation profile and the velocity profile from the numerical results, the permeability of each phase in porous media is considered to be the most important factor in the two phase flow propagation. Consequently, permeability strongly influences the productivity of gas in porous media for methane hydrates.
