PROJECTS

1. Modelling Fast High Volume Infiltration (FHVI) in subsurface porous media

(Post-Doctoral research work)

Utrecht University. The Netherlands (Nov 2016 – present)

This research work aims at modelling the physical processes that is involved in FHVI into

subsurface porous media. Numerical and mathematical modelling, field experiments as

well as laboratory experiments are being performed to investigate the physics of the

process, its feasibility, both physically and economically.

2. Modelling the energy extraction and thermal performance of a solar pond

charged with solar heat and waste heat

(Post-Doctoral research work)

RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia (Apr 2016 – Sept 2016)

In solar ponds water mass is used to collect and store solar thermal energy

conventionally. Water is preferred for heat storage for its high heat capacity and easy

availability. Salinity of the water is used to restrict the natural convection due to thermal

stratification. This study aims to investigate the transient thermal performance and

efficiency of a solar pond with collects solar heat and waste heat from some other source.

The primary target is to enhance the heat extraction efficiency of the pond to cater high

energy demands, without affecting the stability of it. Numerical modeling is being

performed using finite difference codes and experiments are also planned to study the

physics of the phenomenon practically.

2. Three-Dimensional Numerical Modeling for Heat Transfer in an Aquifer

Thermal Energy Storage System

(Post-Doctoral research work)

Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India (Oct 2014 – Apr 2016)

Three-dimensional coupled thermo-hydrogeological numerical model for a confined

aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) system underlain and overlain by rock media is

pursued in this study. The ATES system operates in cyclic mode. The model takes into

account the heat transport processes of advection, conduction and the heat loss to the

confining rock media, regional groundwater flow in the aquifer in longitudinal and lateral

direction and the geothermal gradient and anisotropy in the aquifer. Results show that

thermal injection into the aquifer results in the generation of a thermal-front which grows

in size with time. The thermal interference caused by the premature thermal

breakthrough when the thermal-front reaches the production well results in fall of system

performance and hence to be avoided. This study models the transient temperature

distribution in the aquifer for different flow and geological conditions which may be

effectively used in designing an efficient ATES project by ensuring safety from

breakthrough while catering the energy demand. Parameter studies are also performed

which reveals that the permeability of the aquifer and the confining rocks, the injection

flow rate, the regional groundwater flow, the thickness of the aquifer are important

parameters which influence the transient heat transport in the subsurface porous media.

The thermal energy discharged by the system is estimated and the strategy to avoid the

premature thermal-breakthrough in critical cases is also discussed. The present numerical

model results are validated using an analytical model previously derived by the authors

which shows good agreement to each other. Model results are also compared with

experimental field studies performed at Auburn university, which shows this model

predicts the results quite well.

3. Analytical and Numerical Modeling for Heat transport in a Geothermal Reservoir

due to Cold Water Injection

(PhD thesis work)

Indian institute of Science, Bangalore, India (Aug 2009 – Jul 2014)

Page 8: Dr Sayantan Ganguly Ganguly_0.pdfDr Sayantan Ganguly Area(s) of Interest: Flow through porous media, Heat transport in porous media, Geothermal Energy, Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage

This project concerns with modeling the flow and transient heat transport in porous

geothermal aquifers due to reinjection of heat depleted geothermal water which is left

after power production. The flow and temperature distribution in the geothermal

reservoir due to injection-production process is utmost essential to model to design a

geothermal power production scheme. Three-dimensional modeling of a geothermal

reservoir is done using a specialized code DuMux for different geological and flow

conditions. Analytical models have also been developed which are essential in validating

the numerical results.

4. Study of Flow Characteristics on Extremely Rough Bed Channels

(M. Tech. thesis work)

Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, India and University of Stuttgart, Germany

(Sept 2008 to May 2009)

This study concerns with the flow characteristics over channels with high bed roughness.

Flow characteristics will include the measurement of instantaneous velocities at different

points, the turbulent intensities and the turbulent shear stresses. An acoustic Doppler

velocimeter (ADV) is employed to measure the 3D instantaneous velocities as well as the

turbulent intensities and Reynolds shear stresses. The study is supposed to find the

distribution of velocity, turbulent intensity and turbulent shear stresses along vertical and

also stress distribution around a roughness block and to check whether these

distributions follow some trend. Measurements are to be done with different discharge,

depth of flow and the channel slope. Same measurements are to be done with normal

gravel bed channels also and they are to be compared with each other. In all the cases flow

would be uniform and subcritical conditions.

5. Study of Velocity Distribution in a Channel with Hydraulically Transition Bed

(M. Tech. project work)

Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, India (May 2008 to Aug 2008)

This project study is concerned the velocity distribution in an open channel the bed of

which is hydraulically in transition condition. Laboratory experiment results

investigating the velocity distribution over a vertical cross section for a uniform free

surface flow in the flume using acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV) was reported.

Experiments were conducted with four channel slopes and different flow Froude

numbers and the instantaneous velocity data were collected. By plotting and analysing

the collected data it has been established that the Karman’s coefficient is a function of the

stream power as well as the flow Froude number and the relationship between them is

power in nature. In all the runs of the experiment the flow were uniform, subcritical.
