چکیده
Three models for compositional ow in porous media, varying in physical and mathematical complexity, are considered. Various formulations of the governing equations that describe these models, including phase and global pressure-saturation formulations with the total velocity and ux, are presented. Finite element methods for solving these diierential formulations are identiied.

The permeability and tortuosity of pore-scale two and three-dimensional random porous media were calculated using the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). Effects of geometrical parameters of medium on permeability and tortuosity were investigated as well. Two major models of random porous media were reconstructed by computerized tomography method: Randomly distributed rectangular obstacles in a uni...
