Modelling In-situ Upgrading (ISU) of heavy oil using dimensionless analysis and operator splitting method

The In-Situ Upgrading (ISU) of bitumen and oil shale is a very challenging process to model numerically because a large number of components need to be modelled using a system of equations that are both highly non-linear and strongly coupled. In addition to the transport of heat by conduction and co...
