black oil formulation for the multiscale finite volume method
Description
until now, the multiscale finite volume (msfv) method has shown great promise in petroleum subsurface flow
simulation when applied to large and highly heterogeneous reservoirs. recently, the method was extended
from incompressible multiphase flow to a standard black oil formulation, i.e., compressible rock/fluid system
with gravity and solution gas. the new formulation requires modified basis functions and handles upstream
consistently in pressure and transport calculations. in our approach we split the governing operator is into an
incompressible, a compressible and a gravity contribution to handle the physics correctly on fine and coarse
scale. we detail the formulation and assess the accuracy of the new method with numerical examples relative
to detailed fine grid simulations.
