Numerical Simulation on Hydromechanical Coupling in Porous Media Adopting Three-Dimensional Pore-Scale Model

Figure 7

Flow rate of outlet versus fluid pressure gradient. The red curve is traditional simulation that does not consider the hydromechanical coupling; the black curve illustrates the state of hydromechanical coupling when the confining pressure is regarded as 0 and the pore pressure is 2 MPa.
