Numerical Study and Force Chain Network Analysis of Sand Production Process Using Coupled LBM-DEM

Sand production has caused many serious problems in weakly consolidated reservoirs. Therefore, it is very urgent to find out the mechanism for this process. This paper employs a coupled lattice Boltzmann method and discrete element method (LBM-DEM) to study the sand production process of the porous...
