Numerical simulation and homogenization of two-phase flow in heterogeneous porous media

Abstract: A mathematically rigorous method of homogenization is presented and used to analyze the equivalent behavior of transient flow of two incompressible fluids through heterogeneous media. Asymptotic e~pansions and H-convergence lead to the definition of a global or effective model of an equivalent homogeneous reservoir. Numerical computations to obtain the homogenized coefficients of the entire reservoir have been carried out via a finite element method. Numerical experiments involving the simulation of incompress… Show more

“…Each section describes results from a single test problem along with the results from homogenization methods. The first two sections contain standard periodic test problems using a symmetric cell and the inverted-L cell (see [2]) and are included for completeness. The rest of the sections give results for more realistic problems from porous media flow and one example of a heat diffusion problem wherein results related to optimal design for an optimized heating element for a microarray.…”

“…We will look for the tensor H, which minimizes the discrepancy between the energy dissipation in problems (1) and (2). This is consistent with classical methods considered in [6,11,27], where the energy dissipated in the upscaled field is equal to that dissipated in the original one.…”
