Abstract
Oil in a reservoir is usually found together with water and gas. Often a mixture of water and gas is used to displace such oil. In this work, we present the Riemann solution for such three-phase flow problem. This solution encodes the dependence of recovery on the injected proportion, the proportion initially present, and the viscosity of the several fluids. We use the wave curve method to determine the Riemann solution for initial and injection data in the above-mentioned class. We verify the [Formula: see text]-stability of the Riemann solution with variation of data. We do not establish uniqueness of the Riemann solution, but we believe that it is valid.
期刊介绍:
This journal publishes original research papers on nonlinear hyperbolic problems and related topics, of mathematical and/or physical interest. Specifically, it invites papers on the theory and numerical analysis of hyperbolic conservation laws and of hyperbolic partial differential equations arising in mathematical physics. The Journal welcomes contributions in:
Theory of nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, addressing the issues of well-posedness and qualitative behavior of solutions, in one or several space dimensions.
Hyperbolic differential equations of mathematical physics, such as the Einstein equations of general relativity, Dirac equations, Maxwell equations, relativistic fluid models, etc.
Lorentzian geometry, particularly global geometric and causal theoretic aspects of spacetimes satisfying the Einstein equations.
Nonlinear hyperbolic systems arising in continuum physics such as: hyperbolic models of fluid dynamics, mixed models of transonic flows, etc.
General problems that are dominated (but not exclusively driven) by finite speed phenomena, such as dissipative and dispersive perturbations of hyperbolic systems, and models from statistical mechanics and other probabilistic models relevant to the derivation of fluid dynamical equations.
Convergence analysis of numerical methods for hyperbolic equations: finite difference schemes, finite volumes schemes, etc.
