A hierarchical multi-scale method to simulate reactive–diffusive transport in porous media

Adaptive fully implicit multi-scale finite-volume method for multi-phase flow and transport in heterogeneous porous media

We describe a sequential fully implicit (SFI) multi-scale finite volume (MSFV) algorithm for nonlinear multi-phase flow and transport in heterogeneous porous media. The method extends the recently developed multiscale approach, which is based on an IMPES (IMplicit Pressure, Explicit Saturation) scheme [P. Jenny, S.H. Lee, H.A. Tchelepi, Adaptive multiscale finite volume method for multi-phase f...

A Tvd Method for Contaminant Transport in Porous Media

The objective of this work is to present a numerical study of contaminant migration in saturated porous media. For this purpose, the advection-difussion equation describing the evolution of contaminant plumes in a vertical cross section of an aquifer is discretized employing a Total Variation Diminishing method (TVD), which provides an efficient way to eliminate spurious numerical oscillations ...

A tempered multiscaling stable model to simulate transport in regional‐scale fractured media

[1] Accurate and efficient simulation of contaminant transport in fractured rock is practically important, yet current approaches suffer from numerical constraints that limit the full inclusion of fracture network properties at the regional scale. We propose a multidimensional transport model, nonlocal in space and time, which describes complex transport behavior in fractured media at regional ...

Large-scale Mass Transport Modelling in Discretely- Fractured Porous Media

A numerical model has been developed for the large-scale simulation of solute transport in discretelyfractured porous media. A generic finite elements code, MEF++, has been used to account for simultaneous flow and transport in 2D fracture and 3D porous medium elements. Equations for the fractures and the porous medium are solve separately but are coupled with a mass transfer term. This mass tr...
