2. Benchmark solution#
Remember that the water mass input is written as: \({m}_{w}=\varphi \mathrm{.}{\rho }_{w}\mathrm{.}(1+{\varepsilon }_{v})\), which can be derived in the following form: \({\mathrm{dm}}_{w}=d\varphi {\rho }_{w}(1+{\varepsilon }_{v})+d{\rho }_{w}\varphi (1+{\varepsilon }_{v})+{\rho }_{w}\varphi d{\varepsilon }_{v}\) with \(\varphi\) the Eulerian porosity.
If we assume small trips, we will therefore have:
The variation in porosity is written according to the relationship:
with \({\alpha }_{0}\) the linear dilation of the skeleton (assimilable to the porous medium). It is recalled that the Biot coefficient \(b\) and the compressibility module of solid grains \({K}_{s}\) and are linked to the « drained » compressibility module of the porous medium \({K}_{0}\), such that:
\(b\text{=}1\text{-}\frac{{K}_{0}}{{K}_{s}}\)
Moreover, the variation in the density of water is written as:
with the water compressibility module \({K}_{w}\) and its expansion module \({\alpha }_{w}\).
Finally, if the law of behavior is elastic, we recall that the deformation is linked to the effective stress such that:
Moreover, the formulation under total constraint tells us that:
\(d\sigma \text{'}\mathrm{=}d\sigma +b{\text{dp}}_{w}\), considering here that the environment is in constant confinement, we therefore have:
\(d\sigma \text{'}\mathrm{=}b{\text{dp}}_{w}\), which in the end gives us
We can now inject (2), (3), (4) and (5) into equation (1) and we get that:
Considering that the medium is not drained, we therefore have:
This can be written in the form:
With \(\Lambda\) the thermal pressurization coefficient such as:
\(\Lambda =\frac{\phi \left(3{\alpha }_{w}\text{-}3{\alpha }_{0}\right)}{\left(\frac{{b}^{2}}{{K}_{0}}+\frac{\left(b-\phi \right)}{{K}_{s}}+\frac{\phi }{{K}_{w}}\right)}\)
Note that this coefficient reveals the thermal differential \(({\alpha }_{w}-{\alpha }_{0})\)
2.1. Constant thermal expansion of water#
In case \({\alpha }_{w}=\mathit{cte}\) the digital application is immediate.
Digital application:
With the data defined above, we obtain:
\(\Lambda =\mathrm{2,25}{10}^{5}\mathit{Pa.}{K}^{-1}\)
This gives for a temperature variation \(\Delta T=40°C\), a pressure variation of \(\Delta p=\mathrm{9,01}\mathit{Mpa}\) (i.e. a pressure of 13.01 MPa).
2.2. Thermal expansion of water as a function of temperature#
In this case, we will write
\(\Lambda (T)=\frac{\phi \left(3{\alpha }_{w}(T)\text{-}3{\alpha }_{0}\right)}{\left(\frac{{b}^{2}}{{K}_{0}}+\frac{\left(b-\phi \right)}{{K}_{s}}+\frac{\phi }{{K}_{w}}\right)}\) and
\({\text{dp}}_{w}=\Lambda (T)\text{dT}\)
To be able to integrate this formula, we consider that the thermal expansion of water is considered to be a linear function of temperature such as \({\alpha }_{w}=\mathit{a.}T+b\). \(\Lambda (T)\) is then also a linear function that is integrated between the initial temperature T0 and the final temperature T1, which gives:
\(\Delta p=\frac{A}{2}\mathrm{.}({\mathit{T2}}^{2}-{\mathit{T1}}^{2})+B(\mathit{T2}-\mathit{T1})\) with
\(A=\frac{3\phi a}{\left(\frac{{b}^{2}}{{K}_{0}}+\frac{\left(b-\phi \right)}{{K}_{s}}+\frac{\phi }{{K}_{w}}\right)}\)
and
\(B=\frac{\phi \left(\mathrm{3b}\text{-}3{\alpha }_{0}\right)}{\left(\frac{{b}^{2}}{{K}_{0}}+\frac{\left(b-\phi \right)}{{K}_{s}}+\frac{\phi }{{K}_{w}}\right)}\)
Digital application:
We take it here
\(a=\mathrm{2,63}{10}^{-6}\) and \(b=-7{10}^{-4}\) which correspond to \({\alpha }_{w}(293)=\mathrm{6,67}\mathrm{.}{10}^{-5}{K}^{-1}\) and \({\alpha }_{w}(333)=\mathrm{1,72}\mathrm{.}{10}^{-4}{K}^{-1}\) and which are realistic values for water.
All calculations done, for a temperature variation between 20° C. and 60° C., we obtain a pressure variation of \(\Delta p=\mathrm{10,9}\mathit{MPa}\) and therefore a final pressure of \(\mathrm{14,9}\mathit{MPa}\).
