Instability Analysis of Miscible Displacements in Homogeneous Porous Media

Vertex-centred discretization of multiphase compositional Darcy flows on general meshes

This paper concerns the discretization on general 3D meshes of multiphase compositional Darcy flows in heterogeneous anisotropic porous media. Extending Coats’ formulation [15] to an arbitrary number of phases, the model accounts for the coupling of the mass balance of each component with the pore volume conservation and the thermodynamical equilibrium, and dynamically manages phase appearance ...

A Second Order Characteristic Method for Approximating Incompressible Miscible Displacement in Porous Media

An approximation scheme is defined for incompressible miscible displacement in porous media. This scheme is constructed by two methods. Under the regularity assumption for the pressure, cubic Hermite finite element method is used for the pressure equation, which ensures the approximation of the velocity smooth enough. A second order characteristic finite element method is presented to handle th...

Numerical Analysis of Finite Element Methods for Miscible Displacements in Porous Media

Finite element methods are used to solve a nonlinear system of partial diierential equations which models incompressible miscible displacement of one uid by another in porous media. From a backward nite diierence discretization we deene a sequentially implicit time-stepping algorithm which uncouples the system. The Galerkin method is employed to approximate the pressure, and improvement velocit...

Experimental Investigation on Asphaltene Deposition in Porous Media During Miscible Gas Injection

In this work the likelihood of asphaltene deposition problems during dynamic displacement of oil by natural gas in unconsolidated porous media is experimentally inspected. The two different rock materials, limestone and sandstone, are used as a representative of porous media. Dynamic flow experiments indicate that the increase of natural gas injection inc...
