Abstract
Fluid flow equations are the mathematical representation of the physics that is incorporated in computer simulators of fluid flow. The objective of this chapter is to improve one's understanding of the assumptions and limitations of fluid flow models by reviewing the assumptions and limitations associated with several widely used fluid flow equations. The chapter discusses material balance. Material balance calculations provide an independent estimate of original volumes in place. They may also be used to estimate the relative contribution of different drive mechanisms, predict future production performance, and estimate cumulative recovery efficiency. The chapter also discusses some of the ideas associated with reservoir flow modeling. It also discusses continuity equation, convection-dispersion equation, Navier-Stokes equation, and integrated flow model equations.
