A two-fluid hyperbolic model in a porous medium
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 May 2010
Abstract
The paper is devoted to the computation of two-phase flows in a porous mediumwhen applying the two-fluid approach. The basic formulation is presented first, together with the main properties of the model. A few basic analytic solutions are then provided, some of them correspondingto solutions of the one-dimensional Riemann problem. Three distinct Finite-Volume schemes are then introduced. The first two schemes, which rely on the Rusanov scheme,are shown to give wrong approximations in some cases involving sharp porous profiles.The third one, which is an extension of a scheme proposed by Kröner and Thanh [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 43 (2006) 796–824]for the computation of single phase flows in varying cross section ducts,provides fair results in all situations. Properties of schemes and numerical results are presented. Analytic tests enable to compute the L 1 norm of the error.
