Core Ideas The numerical solution of Richards' equation remains challenging. Space/time
discretization affects both computational effort and accuracy. Adaption of space and time …

Various numerical methods have been used in the literature to simulate single and
multiphase flow in fractured media. A promising approach is the use of the discrete-fracture …

This paper describes a hybrid finite volume method, designed to simulate multiphase flow in
a field-scale naturally fractured reservoir. Lee et al.(WRR 37: 443-455, 2001) developed a …

We present a fully implicit formulation of coupled flow and geomechanics for fractured three-
dimensional subsurface formations. The Reservoir Characterization Model (RCM) consists …

We consider a control volume discretization with a multi-point flux approximation to model
Discrete Fracture–Matrix systems for anisotropic and fractured porous media in two and …

Unconventional reservoirs are the focus of considerable attention as a primary energy
source. Numerical simulation is a core kernel of reservoir-engineering work flows for …

Contrast in capillary pressure of heterogeneous permeable media can have a significant
effect on the flow path in two-phase immiscible flow. Very little work has appeared on the …

Diffusion in fractured reservoirs, unlike in unfractured reservoirs, can affect significantly the
efficiency of gas injection in oil reservoirs and recycling in gas/condensate reservoirs. The …

A comprehensive framework for modeling flow in porous media containing thin, discrete
features, which could be high-permeability fractures or low-permeability deformation bands …

A procedure for developing coarse‐scale continuum models from detailed fracture
descriptions is developed and applied. The coarse models are in the form of a generalized …
