Waterflood front imaging using segmentally insulated well liners as on-demand electrodes
A method for monitoring waterfront movement in a subsurface formation involves performing forward modeling of at least one deep electromagnetic survey of the waterfront movement, and determining locations for installing an electrically insulating spacer between well liners to form an on-demand electromagnetic source electrode. Based on the forward modeling, repeat survey time intervals are predicted. The method involves, during well completion, installing the electrically insulating spacer between the well liners in a reservoir to form at least one on-demand electromagnetic source electrode, and installing the electrically insulating spacer between the plurality of well liners in a reservoir to form an on-demand electromagnetic receiver electrode. A waterfront survey is performed by conveying a production logging tool into a well that temporarily converts the well liners into an on-demand electromagnetic source electrode and an on-demand receiver electrode, and inverse modeling of the waterfront survey is performed to produce a water saturation image.

A system and method for simulating multiple dynamic flows involving movement over time, for example, of water and other fluids, air or wind, fire, or the like, is disclosed. The system and method are a visualization and simulation platform designed to create and execute an approach using deep-learning, computer vision, image processing, and artificial intelligence for predicting all manners of dynamic physical motion over time.

The visualization and simulation system predicts flooding behavior patterns in known geographical domains (regions and/or areas where the deep-learning system has been explicitly trained on) as well as unknown geographical domains (regions and/or areas where the deep-learning system has not been previously exposed or trained on) by providing time-dependent two-dimensional hydrodynamic flooding predictions.
Method of designing fluid flow field structure for fuel cell bipolar plate
One or more methods of designing an FC bipolar plate that enhance the operational performance of FC. A first image analysis is conducted of image data of a fluid flow field structure having one or more dehomogenized microstructures to identify channels having a fluid flow blockage at a channel wall dead-end. The channel wall dead-end of each identified channel is selectively removed in a manner that fluidically connects each identified channel to an adjacent channel. Then, a second image analysis of the image data is conducted in response to selectively removing the channel wall dead-ends to measure a length of each channel wall. Channels walls having a length greater than a threshold channel wall length value are selectively cut, thereby providing reduced fluid flow resistance throughout the FC.
