Fluid Flow And Transport In Porous Media Mathematical And Numerical Treatment

Fluid Flow and Transport in Porous Media, Mathematical and Numerical Treatment

The June 2001 conference brought together mathematicians, computational scientists, and engineers working on the mathematical and numerical treatment of fluid flow and transport in porous media. This collection of 43 papers from that conference reports on recent advances in network flow modeling, parallel computation, optimization, upscaling, uncertainty reduction, media characterization, and chemically reactive phenomena. Topics include modeling horizontal wells using hybrid grids in reservoir simulation, a high order Lagrangian scheme for flow through unsaturated porous media, and a streamline front tracking method for two- and three- phase flow.

Fluid Flow and Transport in Porous Media, Mathematical and Numerical Treatment

This volume contains research papers written and edited by prominent researchers working with the mathematical and numerical treatment of fluid flow and transport in porous media. Papers are based on talks given at a 2001 Joint AMS-IMS-SIAM Summer Research Conference held at Mount Holyoke College (South Hadley, MA). Topics cover a variety of subjects such as network flow modeling, contemporary numerical methods, parallel computation, optimization, multiscale phenomena, upscaling,uncertainty reduction, well treatment, and media characterization. The material addresses many problems originating from the applied geosciences and focuses on their common state-of-the-art mathematical and numerical treatment. This work is particularly pertinent to those working in oil exploration andother industrial applications. The book serves as an excellent reference work for all geoscientists, mathematicians, physicists, and engineers working in this research area
