Abstract

Abstract Flux Corrected Transport (FCT) is a technique developed to reduce numerical diffusion around shock fronts which has not previously been used in reservoir engineering. The first section of this paper describes the application of FCT techniques to solving a one dimensional waterflooding problem, and shows how to include FCT in an IMPES simulator. A second feature of our program is the implicit timesplit treatment of capillary pressure effects. A comparison between laboratory data and simulator results is included, and good agreement is obtained.
