Article
In this paper, we establish local existence of solutions of a variant of a system derived by Choi and Camassa [Weakly nonlinear internal waves in a two-fluids system, J. Fluid Mech.313 (1996) 83-103] to describe the propagation of an internal wave at the interface of two immiscible fluids with constant densities. We also present a numerical solver...

Foam is used in enhanced oil recovery to improve the sweep efficiency by controlling the gas mobility. A common way to describe the foam displacement is by using population balance models, which consider the foam texture as part of the gas phase. Numerical simulation of such equations presents serious difficulties connected to the high non-linearit...

We investigate and classify possible analytical solutions for a simplified version of the foam bubble population model, by varying injection conditions and kinetic foam generation parameter. We prove that the behavior of the analytical solutions changes at the transition between two regions, similar to rarefaction-shock solutions for the Buckley-Le...

Neglecting or simplifying capillary pressure is a common starting point for analyzing the fluid displacement in porous media. From the mathematical perspective, the effect of such simplifications was addressed in the context of conservation laws. In this paper, we address the issue in the context of traveling waves. Mainly, we are interested in the...

Undercompressive shocks are a special type of discontinuities that satisfy the viscous profile criterion rather than the Lax inequalities. These shocks can appear as a solution to systems of two or more conservation laws. This paper presents the construction of the undercompressive shock surface for two types of diffusion matrices. The first type i...

This paper investigates the foam injection in a fractured porous medium modeled as a thin layer surrounded by the other two. We show the formation of the single foam front using the traveling wave solution, which is characterized geometrically as a wave that moves with a constant velocity, maintaining its profile over time. To allow this analysis,...

We present a foam displacement model with a separate balance equation for the surfactant concentration in the aqueous phase. We consider the gas mobility that depends on the surfactant concentration and the dynamic behavior of foam as Newtonian. We study traveling wave solutions for the proposed model considering a high initial water saturation (dr...

Motivated by the foam displacement in porous media with linear adsorption, we extended the existing framework for two-phase flow containing an active tracer described by a non-strictly hyperbolic system of conservation laws. We solved the global Riemann problem by presenting possible wave sequences that composed this solution. Although the problems...

The injection of foams into porous media has gained importance as a method of controlling gas mobility. The multilayer structure of the porous medium raises a question on its efficiency in dealing with layers of different permeabilities. The present work shows the existence of a single traveling wavefront in a two-layer porous medium for a simplifi...

In this work, we study injectivity issues caused by the use of the Peaceman equation in the numerical simulation of chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes aimed at reducing fluid mobility, such as foam injection, on coarse grids. Employing analytical solutions, we demonstrate that the Peaceman equation, commonly applied to mathematical mode...

Este trabalho estuda o sistema de leis de conserva ̧c ̃ao que descreve o modelo simplificado do trabalho de Walsh e Lake (1989). Foi resolvido o problema de Riemann correspondente classificando as possíveis soluções de acordo com a saturação de água no ponto de injeção. Foram encontradas três possibilidades: (1) onda de choque, (2) onda de rarefaçã...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Foam injection is one of the methods that are studied for oil recovery in pre-salt reservoirs. The technique consists in injecting water, gas and surfactant into the reservoir to generate foam. Foam injection allows decreasing the gas mobility, reducing fingering and improving recovery efficiency. In previous work it was proposed a first-order-ki...
Thesis
We study the physical diffusive effect caused by capillary pressure between phases in three-phase flow in porous media, disregarding gravitational effects. The problem is modeled by a system of two nonlinear conservation laws. We solve a class of Riemann problems for this model where the oil viscosity is greater than those of water and gas. To this...
