Description
Abstract:A numerical simulation method was developed to generate typical geologic strata and to solve two-dimensional reservoir problems of the type encountered in water injection of wells. The method includes more variables and is more generally realistic than any available method designed to study fluid flow on simulating the heterogeneous nature of rock and the study of the effects on fluid flow resulting therefrom. An implicit pressure-explicit saturation finite-difference scheme was developed to solve the partial differential equations which describe two-dimensional fluid flow. ...
