Abstract

The ability to numerically simulate single phase and multiphase flow of fluids in porous media is extremely important in developing an understanding of the complex phenomena governing the flow. The flow is complicated by the presence of heterogeneities in the reservoir and by phenomena such as diffusion, dispersion, and viscous fingering. These effects must be modeled by terms in coupled systems of nonlinear partial differential equations which form the basis of the simulator. The simulator must be able to handle both single and multiphase flows and the transition regimes between the two. A discussion of some of the aspects of modeling dispersion and viscous fingering is presented along with directions for future work.
