Solutions to a Model for Compressible Immiscible Two Phase Flow in Porous Media

چکیده
In this article, we study the existence of solutions to a nonlinear degenerate system modelling the displacement of two-phase compressible immiscible flow in a three dimensional porous media. The aim of this work is to treat the model with its general form with the whole nonlinear terms. Especially, we consider the case where the density of each phase depends on its corresponding pressure. We derive new energy estimates on velocities, saturations and pressures to treat the degeneracy of the system. A compactness result is shown for degenerate systems.

Modeling and Numerical Simulations of Immiscible Compressible Two-Phase Flow in Porous Media by the Concept of Global Pressure
A new formulation is presented for the modeling of immiscible compressible two-phase flow in porous media taking into account gravity, capillary effects and heterogeneity. The formulation is intended for the numerical simulation of multi-dimensional flows and is fully equivalent to the original equations, unlike the one introduced in Chavent and Jaffré (1986). The main feature of this formulati...
متن کاملMultigrid Methods for Finite Element Simulation of Two Phase Immiscible Flow in Heterogeneous Media
Multigrid methods are described for solving the pressure equation arising from a finite element discretization of the equations modeling the flow of two immiscible and in-compressible fluids in a heterogeneous porous medium. Comparisons are made between the performance of these methods and a preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithm by solving some two dimensional five spot problems on both h...
متن کاملA two-pressure model for slightly compressible single phase flow in bi-structured porous media
Problems involving flow in porous media are ubiquitous in many natural and engineered systems. Mathematical modeling of such systems often relies on homogenization of pore-scale equations and macroscale continuum descriptions. For single phase flow, Stokes equations at the pore-scale are generally approximated by Darcy's law at a larger scale. In this work, we develop an alternative model to Da...

The present work involves numerical simulation of a steady, incompressible forcedconvection fluid flow through a matrix of porous media between two parallel plates at constanttemperature. A Darcy model for the momentum equation was employed. The mathematical model forenergy transport was based on single phase equation model which assumes local thermal equilibriumbetween fluid and solid phases. ...
متن کاملLattice - Gas Simulations of Ternary Amphiphilic Fluid Flow in Porous Media ∗
We develop our existing two-dimensional lattice gas model to simulate the flow of single phase, binary immiscible and ternary amphiphilic fluids. This involves the inclusion of fixed obstacles on the lattice, together with the inclusion of “no-slip” boundary conditions. Here we report on preliminary applications of this model to the flow of such fluids within model porous media. We also constru...
