Microscale effect of microvadose in shale reservoirs

There are abundant nanopores in the organic matter of shales. Gas flow in nano-pores leads to micro-scale effect that can't be described by flowing law of macro fluid. The Lattice Boltzmann Method was applied to simulate gas flow in the nano-channels of organic matter and the effect of slippage...
