Abstract

Abstract This paper describes the application of the fourth-order operator compact implicit (OCI) method to multiphase flow through porous media. A conservative form of the method is developed and used to solve a one-dimensional, two-phase, immiscible waterflood problem. The results of numerical experiments demonstrate the ability to track sharp fronts with relatively few mesh points. Comparisons with conventional finite-difference methods and variational methods are given.
