Excerpt from Sharp and Diffuse Fronts in Oil Reservoirs: Front Tracking and Capillarity
The right hand side of the saturation equation is a nonlinear diffusion term associated with capillary pressure. It gives rise to a length scale which is significant for laboratory studies and is usually much smaller than typical grid spacings for field scale simulations. In front tracking computations, this term is (presently) set to zero.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the latest advances in front tracking, a method of simulating complex flows such as those found in oil reservoirs. Historically, computer simulations of oil reservoirs have struggled with challenges in resolution (level of detail) and accuracy due to the complex physics involved in fluid flow through porous media, especially when different fluids like oil and water interact in intricate ways. The author, an expert in the field of computational fluid dynamics, provides a comprehensive overview of using front tracking to simulate these flows, beginning with fundamental concepts and extending to advanced topics like wave interactions and algorithm design. With front tracking, scientists can capture intricate details such as unstable interfaces and flow instabilities that significantly impact oil recovery. This approach provides a substantial improvement in accuracy over traditional numerical methods, enabling more reliable and predictive reservoir simulations. The concluding chapter highlights the potential applications of front tracking beyond oil reservoirs, making this book a valuable resource for researchers in computational fluid dynamics, hydrology, and other areas involving complex multi-phase flow phenomena. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
