COMPUTATIONAL METHODS FOR MULTIPHASE FLOWS IN POROUS MEDIA

This book offers a practical introduction to the use of computational methods, particularly finite element methods, in the simulation of fluid flows in porous media. It is the first book to cover a wide variety of flows, including single-phase, two-phase, black oil, volatile, compositional, nonisothermal, and chemical compositional flows in both ordinary porous and fractured porous media. In addition, a range of computational methods are used, and benchmark problems of solution projects from the Society of Petroleum Engineers are presented for the first time in book form.
