Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Introduction
The wetting phase saturation can be described as function of
capillary pressure and fractal dimension was demonstrated by
Toledo GT [1]. The Purcell model was found to be the best fit to
the experimental data of the wetting phase relative permeability
for the cases as long as the measured capillary pressure curve had
the same residual saturation as the relative permeability curve
was described by Li K and Horne RN [2]. A theoretical model to
correlate capillary pressure and resistivity index based on the
fractal scaling theory was reported by Li K and Willams W [3].
The fractal dimension resulting from longer transverse NMR
relaxation times and lower capillary pressure reflects the volume
dimension of larger pores was described by Zhang Z and Weller A
[4]. The fractal dimension derived from the short NMR relaxation
times is similar to the fractal dimension of the internal surface was
described by Zhang Z and Weller A [4]. The fractal dimensions can
be used to represent the complexity degree and heterogeneity of
pore structure, and the coexistence of dissolution pores and large
intergranular pores of Donghetang sandstones contributes to a
heterogeneous pore throat distribution and a high value of fractal
dimension was reported by Wang Z [5]. The relationship among
capillary pressure (PC), nuclear magnetic transverse relaxation
time (T2) and resistivity index (I) was studied by Guo Yh [6]. An
increase of bubble pressure fractal dimension and pressure head
fractal dimension and decreasing pore size distribution index and
fitting parameters m * n due to possibility of having interconnected
channels was confirmed by Alkhidir KEME [7]. An increase of fractal

Abstract
The quality and assessment of a reservoir can be recognized in details by the presentation of seismo mechanical force.
This research targets to calculate fractal dimension from the relationship among seismo mechanical force, maximum seismo
mechanical force and wetting phase saturation and to approve it by the fractal dimension derived from the relationship among
capillary pressure and wetting phase saturation. In this research, porosity was measured on real collected sandstone samples and
permeability was calculated theoretically from capillary pressure profile measured by mercury intrusion contaminating the pores
of sandstone samples in consideration. Two equations for calculating the fractal dimensions have been employed. The first one
defines the functional relationship between wetting phase saturation, seismo mechanical force, maximum seismo mechanical force
and fractal dimension. The second equation involves to the wetting phase saturation as a function of capillary pressure and the
fractal dimension. Two procedures for obtaining the fractal dimension have been utilized. The first procedure was done by plotting
the logarithm of the ratio between seismo mechanical force and maximum seismo mechanical force versus logarithm wetting phase
saturation. The slope of the first procedure = 3-Df (fractal dimension). The second procedure for obtaining the fractal dimension
was determined by plotting the logarithm of capillary pressure versus the logarithm of wetting phase saturation. The slope of the
second procedure = Df-3. On the basis of the obtained results of the fabricated stratigraphic column and the attained values of the
fractal dimension, the sandstones of the Shajara reservoirs of the Shajara Formation were divided here into three units. The gained
units from bottom to top are: Lower Shajara seismo mechanical force Fractal Dimension Unit, Middle Shajara seismo mechanical
force Fractal dimension Unit, and Upper Shajara seismo mechanical force Fractal Dimension Unit. The results show similarity
between seismo mechanical force fractal dimension and capillary pressure fractal dimension. It was also noted that samples with
wide range of pore radius were characterized by high values of fractal dimensions due to an increase in their connectivities. In our
case, and as conclusions the higher the fractal dimension, the higher the heterogeneity, the higher the permeability, the better the
reservoir characteristics.

dimension with increasing arithmetic, geometric relaxation time of
induced polarization, permeability and grain size was investigated
by Alkhidir KEME [8-10]. An increase of seismo electric field and
resistivity fractal dimensions with increasing permeability and
grain size was described by Alkhidir KEME [11-13]. An increase of
electric potential gradient and electro kinetic fractal dimensions
with increasing permeability and grain size was reported by
Alkhidir KEME [14,15]. An increase of electric potential energy
fractal with increasing permeability and grain size was defined by
Alkhidir KEME [16].

Results and Discussion
Based on field observation the Shajara Reservoirs of the Permo-
Carboniferous Shajara Formation were divided into three units as
described in Figure 1. These units from bottom to top are: Lower
Shajara Reservoir, Middle Shajara reservoir, and Upper Shajara
Reservoir. Their acquired results of the seismo mechanical force
fractal dimension and capillary pressure fractal dimension is
displayed in Table 1. Based on the attained results it was found
that the seismo mechanical force fractal dimension is equal to the
capillary pressure fractal dimension. The maximum value of the
fractal dimension was found to be 2.7872 assigned to sample SJ13
from the Upper Shajara Reservoir as verified in Table 1. Whereas
the minimum value 2.4379 of the fractal dimension was reported
from sample SJ3 from the Lower Shajara reservoir as displayed
in Table1. The seismo mechanical force fractal dimension and
capillary pressure fractal dimension were observed to increase
with increasing permeability as proofed in Table 1 owing to the
possibility of having interconnected channels.
The Lower Shajara reservoir was represented by six sandstone
samples Figure 1, four of which labeled as SJ1, SJ2, SJ3 and SJ4
as confirmed in Table 1 were selected for capillary pressure
measurement. Their positive slopes of the first procedure and
negative slopes of the second procedure are delineated in Figures
2-5 and Table 1. Their seismo mechanical force fractal dimension
and capillary pressure fractal dimension values are proofed in Table
1. As we progress from sample SJ2 to SJ3 a pronounced reduction
in permeability due to compaction was reported from 1955 md to
56 md which reflects decrease in seismo mechanical force fractal
dimension and capillary pressure fractal dimension from 2.7748
to 2.4379 as identified in Table 1. Again, an increase in grain size
and permeability was verified from sample SJ4 whose seismo
mechanical force fractal dimension and capillary pressure fractal
dimension was found to be 2.6843 as defined in Table 1.

In contrast, the Middle Shajara reservoir which is separated
from the Lower Shajara reservoir by an unconformity surface as
shown in Figure 1. It was designated by four samples Figure 1,
three of which named as SJ7, SJ8, and SJ9 as proved in Table 1 were
picked for capillary pressure measurement. Their positive slopes of
the first procedure and negative slopes of the second procedure are
revealed in Figures 6-8 and Table 1. Their seismo mechanical force
fractal dimensions and capillary pressure fractal dimensions show
similarities as delineated in Table 1. Their fractal dimensions are
higher than those of samples SJ3 and SJ4 from the Lower Shajara
Reservoir due to an increase in their permeability as explained in
Table 1.

Ontheotherhand,theUpperShajarareservoirisseparatedfrom
the Middle Shajara reservoir by yellow green mudstone as shown in
Figure 1. It is defined by three samples so called SJ11, SJ12, SJ13 as
explained in Table 1. Their positive slopes of the first procedure and
negative slopes of the second procedure are presented in Figures
9-11 and Table 1. Moreover, their seismo mechanical force fractal
dimension and capillary pressure fractal dimension is also higher
than those of sample SJ3 and SJ4 from the Lower Shajara Reservoir
due to an increase in their permeability as clarified in Table 1.
ssOverall a plot of seismo mechanical force fractal dimension
versus capillary pressure fractal dimension as shown in Figure 12
reveals three permeable zones of varying Petrophysical properties.
Such variation in fractal dimension can account for heterogeneity
which is a key parameter in reservoir quality assessment. This
heterogeneity was also revealed by plotting positive slope of the
first procedure versus negative slope of the second procedure as
described in Figure 13.

b. The gained units from bottom to top are: Lower Shajara
Seismo Mechanical Force Fractal Dimension Unit, Middle
Shajara Seismo Mechanical Force Fractal Dimension Unit, and
Upper Shajara Seismo Mechanical Force Fractal Dimension
Unit.
c. These units were also proved by capillary pressure fractal
dimension.
d. The fractal dimension was found to increase with
increasing grain size and permeability.
