Thus it would appear that multigrid is more suitable for large, three dimensional simulations, since the total computational work will be proportional to n. In addition, the element–by–element implementation employed in this study will render such simulations relatively inexpensive. The solution of a series of heterogeneous five spot problems demonstrated that the performance of all of the iterative methods considered can deteriorate as the degree of hetero-geneity is increased. The interpolation scheme developed for heterogeneous problems appeared to reduce this effect on the multigrid algorithm. This scheme offers some promise for unstructured finite element meshes; however, further work is required to determine its robustness.

Multigrid 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.

متن کاملDiscontinous Galerkin and Mixed-Hybrid Finite Element Approach to Two-Phase Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media with Different Capillary Pressures
A modern numerical scheme for simulation of flow of two immiscible and incompressible phases in inhomogeneous porous media is proposed. The method is based on a combination of the mixed-hybrid finite element (MHFE) and discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods. The combined approach allows for accurate approximation of the flux at the boundary between neighboring finite elements, especially in hetero...
متن کاملA hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin method for two-phase flow in heterogeneous porous media
We present a new method for simulating incompressible immiscible two-phase flow in porous media. The semi-implicit method decouples the wetting phase pressure and saturation equations. The equations are discretized using a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method. The proposed method is of high order, conserves global/local mass balance, and the number of globally coupled degrees of fre...

In this paper, we discuss some applications of multiscale finite element methods to two-phase immiscible flow simulations in heterogeneous porous media. We discuss some extensions of multiscale finite element methods which take into account some limited global information. These methods are well suited for channelized porous media, where the long-range effects are important. This is typical for...
متن کاملThree-phase immiscible displacement in heterogeneous petroleum reservoirs
We describe a fractional-step numerical procedure for the simulation of immiscible three-phase flow in heterogeneous porous media that takes into account capillary pressure and apply it to indicate the existence of a so-called “transitional" wave in at least some multi-dimensional flows, thereby extending theoretical results for one-dimensional flows. The step procedure combines a second-order,...
