Numerical Study for Two-Phase Flow with Gravity in Homogeneous and Piecewise-Homogeneous Porous Media

ABSTRACT

In this work we study two-phase flow with gravity either in 1-rock homogeneous media or 2-rocks composed media. These phenomena can be modeled by a non-linear scalar conservation law with continuous flux function or discontinuous flux function, respectively. Our study is essentially from a numerical point of view, we apply the new Lagrangian-Eulerian (LEH) finite difference method developed by Abreu and Pérez 11. E. Abreu, V. Matos, J. Perez & P. Rodriguez-Bermudez. A class of Lagrangian-Eulerian shock-capturing schemes for first-order hyperbolic problems with forcing terms. sent, (2019).), (22. E.C. Abreu, W. Lambert, J. Perez & A. Santo.

Comparisons between numerical and analytical solutions show the efficiency of the methods even for discontinuous flux function. Our main contribution, is the comparison and error analysis between the new LEH and the classical Lax-Friedrichs (LF) methods, in order to show the good performance of the LEH scheme for models with discontinuous flux functions.
