Modeling the Reservoir Flooding Problem Using the Extended Version of the PorousMultiphaseFoam Library

Abstract

In this work, we develop software based on porousMultiphaseFoam library in OpenFOAM package to study enhanced oil recovery methods, and to study the influence of these methods on the oil recovery factor. New models of relative phase permeability and capillary pressure were implemented, and their comparative analysis was performed. The code was verified using the analytical approach. A new solver for simulating compressible flow was developed.
