A Systems Description of Flow Through Porous Media: Porous-Media Flow [This chapter gives a brief review of the basic equations needed to simulate single-phase and two-phase (oil–water) flow through porous media. It discusses the governing partial-differential equations, their physical interpretation (especially the diffusive nature of pressures and the convective behavior of saturations), spatial discretization with finite differences, and the treatment of wells. It contains well-known theory and is primarily meant to form a basis for the next chapter where the equations will be reformulated in terms of systems-and-control notation.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter gives a brief review of the basic equations needed to simulate single-phase and two-phase (oil–water) flow through porous media. It discusses the governing partial-differential equations, their physical interpretation (especially the diffusive nature of pressures and the convective behavior of saturations), spatial discretization with finite differences, and the treatment of wells. It contains well-known theory and is primarily meant to form a basis for the next chapter where the equations will be reformulated in terms of systems-and-control notation.]
