In this work we propose a methodology, based on molecular dynamics simulations, to quantify the influence of segregation and thermodiffusion on the initial state distribution of the fluid species in hydrocarbon reservoirs. This convection-free approach has been applied to a synthetic oil composed of three normal alkanes and to a real acid gas. It has been found that the thermodiffusion effect induced by the geothermal gradient is similar (but opposite in sign) to that due to segregation for both mixtures. In addition, because of the combined effect of thermal expansion Guillaume Galliero guillaume.galliero@univ-pau.fr and thermodiffusion, it has been observed that the density gradient can be reversed, in the presence of a geothermal gradient. These numerical results emphasize the need of improving our quantification of thermodiffusion in multicomponent mixtures. The SCCO-SJ10 experiments will be a crucial step towards this goal.

“…Furthermore, fused silica will be used as the substrate of an integrated heater in our on-going space experiment mission, SOBER-SJ10, which will be flown of our group, to study local convection and heat transfer around an isolated growing vapor bubble during nucleate pool boiling on a flat plate heater (Hu et al [31]). Nickel was used by Siegel & Keshock [30] in their experiments, and, as mentioned above, their experimental results were used to validate the present numerical method.…”

“…In the mid-2000s, the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA) developed SJ-10 recoverable satellite, which are mainly used to perform experiments of microgravity science and space life science. The engineering phase of program SJ-10 was started by Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) since the beginning of 2013, and the satellite is scheduled for launch in early 2016 (Hu et al 2014), and will stay for 15 days in Earth orbit. The colloidal material box (CMB) is one of several experimental boxes that will be aboard the SJ-10 satellite, which is used to study the self-assembly dynamics of the colloidal spheres (with or without Au-coated nanoparticles) under microgravity, and the phase behavior of liquid crystal in space.…”

To study the self-assembly behavior of colloidal spheres in the solid/liquid interface and elucidate the mechanism of liquid crystal phase transition under microgravity, a Colloidal Material Box (CMB) was designed which consists of three modules: (i) colloidal evaporation experimental module, made up of a sample management unit, an injection management unit and an optical observation unit; (ii) liquid crystal phase transition experimental module, including a sample management unit and an optical observation unit; (iii) electronic control module. The following two experimental plans will be performed inside the CMB aboard the SJ-10 satellite in space. (i) Self-assembly of colloidal spheres (with and without Au shell) induced by droplet evaporation, allowing observation of the dynamic process of the colloidal spheres within the droplet and the change of the droplet outer profile during evaporation; (ii) Phase behavior of Mg 2 Al LDHs suspensions in microgravity. The experimental results will be the first experimental observations of depositing ordered colloidal crystals and their self-assembly behavior under microgravity, and will
