Experimental Investigation for the Effect of the Core Length on the Optimum Acid Flux in Carbonate Acidizing
(2012-10-19)
Matrix acidizing is commonly used to stimulate wells in carbonate reservoirs. Large amounts of lab tests indicate an optimum acid interstitial velocity (Vi-opt, injection rate over flow area and porosity) exists, which ...
Landscapes of Color
(2012-02-14)
In this work, I propose a digital painting process to create virtual paintings that can be created with paint layers. The process enables the artists to manipulate the look of the painting by placing lights in the ...
