Abstract
The lattice Boltzmann method and pore network model are two types of the most popular pore-scale fluid flow simulation methods. As a direct numerical simulation method, lattice Boltzmann method simulates fluid flow directly in the realistic porous structures, characterized by high computational accuracy but low efficiency. On the contrary, pore network model simulates fluid flow in simplified regular pore networks of the real porous media, which is more computationally efficient, but fails to capture the detailed pore structures and flow processes. In past few years, significant efforts have been devoted to couple lattice Boltzmann method and pore network model to simulate fluid flow in porous media, aiming to combine the accuracy of lattice Boltzmann method and efficiency of pore network model. In this mini-review, the recent advances in pore-scale fluid flow simulation methods coupling lattice Boltzmann method and pore network model are summarized, in terms of single-phase flow, quasi-static two-phase drainage flow and dynamic two-phase flow in porous media, demonstrating that coupling the lattice Boltzmann method and pore network model offers a promising and effective approach for addressing the up-scaling problem of flow in porous media.
