Mathematical Modeling and Simulation for Applications of Fluid Flow in Porous Media
Abstract: Understanding the fate and transport of contaminants to determine water quality and to develop remediation strategies or optimizing the recovery of hydrocarbons in petroleum applications each require the ability to model multiphase flow in heterogeneous three-dimensional reservoirs. Model equations and corresponding parameters must be determined at the appropiate length scales to describe the scaled physics of flow. Effective simulators require accurate numerical methods on general geometries. Use of mixed finite element methods and local grid refinement will be discussed. Example calculations in aquifers or reservoirs with complex boundaries will be presented. Parallelization of the codes will also be discussed.
