Numerical Treatment of Multiphase Flows in Porous Media : Proceedings of the International Workshop Held a Beijing China 2–6 August 1999 This book describes in detail the current state of the art numerical treatment and simulation of multiphase flows in porous media. The porous media considered range from ordinary to fractured and deformable media the models treated from single phase compressible flow to multiphase multicomponent flow with mass interchange while the computational algorithms encompass everything from classical iterative solvers to modern multigrid and domain decomposition approaches. Addressing many problems originating from the applied geosciences the book focuses on their common mathematical and computational aspects. It will serve as an excellent research reference for all geoscientists mathematicians physicists and engineers who work in the mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of multiphase flows in porous media
