Numerical Modelling of Multiphase Flow in Porous Media

Asymptotic and numerical modelling of flows in fractured porous media

This study concerns some asymptotic models used to compute the flow outside and inside fractures in a bidimensional porous medium. The flow is governed by the Darcy law both in the fractures and in the porous matrix with large discontinuities in the permeability tensor. These fractures are supposed to have a small thickness with respect to the macroscopic length scale, so that we can asymptotic...

Numerical Methods for Flow and Transport in Porous Media

In this short course we will start by deriving the basic conservation laws for mass, momentum and energy. We will extend the results to mixtures in general and then to multiphase flow in porous media. We will describe the black-oil models and the Buckley-Leverett problem. Second, we will review the basic numerical methods for solving the differential equations that model a fluid in a porous med...

Flow control of fluids through porous media

This paper discusses flow control of fluids through porous media, specifically related to its application in petroleum science. The flow of fluids is described by the Boussinesq equation with mixed boundary conditions; a Neumann boundary condition describes no flow at the outer boundary of the porous media and a nonlinear boundary condition describes the interaction between the porous media and...
