Numerical methods for modelling fluid flow in highly heterogeneous and fractured reservoirs

In this thesis I develop and test new numerical methods for the numerical modelling of flow in highly heterogeneous and fractured reservoirs. We present the governing equations for immiscible two-phase fluid flow in a slightly compressible porous medium with capillary pressure. We discretize these e...
