Finite volume approximation for an immiscible two-phase flow in porous media with discontinuous capillary pressure
We consider an immiscible incompressible two-phase flow in a porous medium composed of two different rocks so that the capillary pressure field is discontinuous at the interface between the rocks. This leads us to apply a concept of multi-valued phase pressures and a notion of weak solution for the flow which have been introduced in [Cancès & Pierre, SIAM J. Math. Anal, 44(2):966–992, 2012]. We...
متن کاملNon-Darcy displacement of immiscible fluids in porous media
This paper presents a Buckley-Leverett analytical solution for non-Darcy displacement of two immiscible fluids in porous media. The multiphase non-Darcy displacement is described using a Forchheimer equation or other non-Darcy flow correlations under multiphase flow conditions. The analytical solution is used to obtain some insight into the physics of displacement involving non-Darcy flow effec...

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 including capillary eeects through a heterogeneous porous medium. The heterogeneity is due to the spatial variation of the absolute permeability and the poros-ity. Both these quantities are assumed to be piecewise constant. At interfaces where the roc...

متن کاملRayleigh–Taylor instability of immiscible fluids in porous media
The time development of an interface separating two immiscible fluids of different densities in heterogeneous two-dimensional porous media is studied. The governing equations are simplified with the help of approximate Green’s functions which allow computation of the shape of the interface directly without resolving the fluid flow in the entire domain. The new formulation is amenable to numeric...
