In reservoir simulations, nearwell regions usually require finer space and time scales compared with the remaining of the reservoir domain. We present a domain decomposition algorithm for a two phase Darcy flow model coupling nearwell regions locally refined in space and time with a coarser reservoir discretization. The algorithm is based on an...

We assess in this paper the capability of a pressure correction scheme to compute shock solutions of the homogeneous model for barotropic two-phase flows. This scheme is designed to inherit the stability properties of the continuous problem: the unknowns (in particular the density and the dispersed phase mass fraction y) are kept within their...

Nearwell regions in reservoir simulations usually require fine space and time scales due to several physical processes such as higher Darcy velocities, the coupling of the stationary well model with the transient reservoir model, high non linearities due to phase appearance (typically gas), complex physics such as formation damage models. If...

In this paper, we propose implicit and semi-implicit in time finite volume schemes for the barotropic Euler equations (hence, as a particular case, for the shallow water equations) and for the full Euler equations, based on staggered discretizations. For structured meshes, we use the MAC finite volume scheme, and, for general mixed...

For linear problems, domain decomposition methods can be used directly as iterative solvers, but also as preconditioners for Krylov methods. In practice, Krylov acceleration is almost always used, since the Krylov method finds a much better residual polynomial than the stationary iteration, and thus converges much faster. We show in this paper...
