The multiscale perturbation method for two-phase reservoir flow problems

作者:

Highlights:

• MPM-2P is introduced to speed-up the numerical solution of two-phase flow problems.

• A modified operator splitting method is proposed to reduce the computational cost of the simulation of the two-phase flows.

• The new algorithm replaces full updates of local solutions by reusing basis functions computed by the MRCM at an earlier time of the simulation.

• Numerical experiments provide evidence of improved efficiency for various challenging permeability fields.
