Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Multi-phase flow and heat and mass transfer play critical roles in various fields, including fossil energy extraction, nuclear energy, aerospace, and microelectronics. For example, the performance of microelectronic systems is constrained by the cooling efficiency of fluids in microchannels. Researchers have made significant progress in understanding multi-phase flow behaviors and heat transfer characteristics. However, considerable challenges remain in controlling multi-phase flow behaviors and enhancing heat transfer.

This Special Issue, ‘2nd Edition of Multi-Phase Flow and Heat and Mass Transfer Engineering’, aims to gather and present novel technologies and advancements in this area of research. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Boiling heat transfer in microchannels;
  • Phase change heat transfer enhancement of two-phase flow;
  • Non-Newtonian multi-phase flows;
  • Condensation and evaporation;
  • Droplet dynamic behaviors;
  • Melting/solidification behaviors of phase change materials (PCMs);
  • Experimental methods for multi-phase flow and heat transfer;
  • Computational techniques for multi-phase flow and heat transfer.

In CO2 flooding, variations in mobility and formation heterogeneity may cause gas to traverse high-permeability or interconnected channels, leading to ineffective gas circulation. This limits recovery rates, ultimately leading to reduced financial benefits. Consequently, the identification of CO2 gas channeling becomes crucial for developing targeted management strategies and improving the efficacy of CCUS-EOR operations. This paper applies an established AHP–fuzzy comprehensive evaluation framework to the screening and prioritization of gas-channeling risk in an ultra-low-permeability CO2-EOR reservoir. This approach combines six static geological parameters and three dynamic production parameters as indicators, enabling a comprehensive analysis of potential gas channeling in the A block of the Haian Oilfield. This method was applied to the production data from the A block, showing strong consistency with the observed production response. The results offer significant technical assistance and theoretical understanding for the scientific identification, risk evaluation, and subsequent management of CO2 gas channeling in oilfields.
