Multiscale Advance Features in Modeling Oil Transport in Porous Media

The Multiscale Finite Volume (MSFV) has been recently utilized in order to solve elliptic and parabolic equations. Oil transport in porous media is the major topic of this field. In multiscale framework pressure and saturation equations are managed separately. In order to have complete property of pressure distribution parabolic nature of pressure equation is considered. In this paper the advanced features of Multiscale is cleared in compare with other computational methods. This model is applied for both isotropic and anisotropic media. New trend of Progressive Parabola Strategy (PPS) technique is introduced to solve anisotropic media or domain with high aspect ratio. Finally the model is compared with fine scale reference solution and reasonable accuracy with high computational efficiency is achieved.
