Numerical Simulation of Three-Phase Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media
We describe an efficient numerical simulator, based on an operator splitting technique, for three-phase flow in heterogeneous porous media that takes into account capillary forces, general relations for the relative permeability functions and variable porosity and permeability fields. Our numerical procedure combines a non-oscillatory, second order, conservative central difference scheme for th...
متن کاملHomogenization of strongly heterogeneous porous media
Resumé Homogenization techniques were developed to simplify description and modeling of heterogeneous structures where the characteristic size of the heterogeneities is much smaller than the size of the whole structure. Usually the simplification is associated with tractabil-ity of numerical modeling: " original structures " , like fiber composites, or masonry are constructed by repeating some ...
متن کاملTransient Fluid Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media
A stable Alternating Direction Implicit finite-difference algorithm is used to model transient fiuid flow in heterogeneous porous media. In connection with the laboratory system for pressure transient testing of core permeability, the effects of permeability heterogeneities on the characteristics of the pressure transient were investigated. The results show that the early portion of the pressur...
متن کاملThe effect of capillary forces on immiscible two-phase flow in strongly heterogeneous porous media
A selection of these reports is available in PostScript form at the Faculty's anonymous ftp-Abstract We consider the one-dimensional two-phase ow through a heterogeneous porous medium. The heterogeneity is due to the spatial variation of the absolute permeability and the porosity. Both these quantities are assumed to be piecewise constant. At interfaces where the rock properties are discontinuo...
متن کاملA Numerical Algorithm for Fluid Flow in Porous Media
Fluid flow model in porous media is considered. The governing equation is strong nonlinear parabolic differential equation. We develop an efficient algorithm for the numerical solution of the problem. It depends on an iterative scheme that developed recently. We prove the convergence of this scheme. Numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of the algorithm.
