An Efficient Simulation Approach for Long-term Assessment of CO2 Storage in Complex Geological Formations

We present an efficient compositional framework for simulation of CO2 storage in saline aquifers with complex geological geometries during a lifelong injection and migration process. To improve the computation efficiency, the general framework considers the essential hydrodynamic physics, including hysteresis, dissolution and capillarity, by...

Adaptive Algebraic Multiscale Solver for Compressible Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media

An adaptive Algebraic Multiscale Solver for Compressible (C-AMS) flow in heterogeneous oil reservoirs is developed. Based on the recently developed AMS [Wang et al., 2014] for incompressible linear flows, the C-AMS extends the algebraic formulation of the multiscale methods for compressible (nonlinear) flows. Several types of basis functions ...

Monotone Multiscale Finite Volume Method for Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media

The MultiScale Finite-Volume (MSFV) method is known to produce non-monotone solutions. The causes of the non-monotone solutions are identified and connected to the local flux across the boundaries of primal coarse cells induced by the basis functions. We propose a monotone MSFV (m-MSFV) method based on a local stencil-fix that guarantees...
