معرفی
Professor Guan Qin is the Gulf Coast Section of the Society of Petroleum Engineers Endowed College Professor at the University of Houston's Cullen College of Engineering, Department of Petroleum Engineering. He specializes in multi-scale and multi-physics numerical modeling of subsurface processes, with particular focus on shale gas transport, molecular simulation, and lattice Boltzmann methods. His research interests include upscaling processes, finite element/finite difference methods, and permeability estimation in unconventional reservoirs.
Education: Ph.D., University of Wyoming.
Research Interests: His work emphasizes pore-scale modeling in shale gas formations, CO2 sequestration, and fracture network simulation. Key topics include molecular dynamics for gas transport in nanopores, Lattice Boltzmann method applications, and integration of multi-scale digital rock simulations. Recent studies explore the impact of hydrate morphology on dissociation processes and the use of zeolite proppants for enhanced shale gas recovery.
Publications: Over 50 peer-reviewed articles focus on shale gas dynamics, fracture modeling, and reservoir simulation. Recent trends highlight advancements in GPU-accelerated Lattice Boltzmann methods, CO2-methane exchange mechanisms, and coupled hydrodynamic-thermal simulations for hydrate systems.
Advising & Grants: Current students include Bingwen Deng, Zhuoran Li, and Kaiyi Zhang. His work is supported by industry and academic collaborations, addressing challenges in unconventional reservoir development and subsurface fluid flow.
Labs/Teams: Leads research in numerical reservoir simulation and multi-scale modeling, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams in engineering and computational science.
