Multiphase flows

Abstract Two or multiple phases in fluid mixture commonly occur in petroleum industry, where oil, gas and water are often produced and transported together. Petroleum reservoir engineers spent great efforts in drainage problems arising from the development and production of oil and gas reservoirs so as to obtain a high economic recovery, by developing, conducting, and interpolating the simulation of subsurface flows of reservoir fluids, including water, hydrocarbon, CO2, H2S for example in porous geological formation. Field-scale or Darcy-scale simulation has conventionally and routinely used

Steven Dufour is a Former Visiting Associate Professor from École Polytechnique de Montréal, at Professor Raul F. Tempone's Stochastic Numerics Research Group at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). Research Interests Steven's research activities revolve around the development of numerical methodologies for the modeling of free surface flows that can be found in various industrial applications. The main challenge associated with the numerical modeling of multifluid flows is to accurately locate the interfaces between each fluid. More complex flows, such as the flow of
