Algebraic Multigrid Preconditioners for Multiphase Flow in Porous Media [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, 2017 Multiphase flow is a critical process in a wide range of applications, including carbon sequestration, contaminant remediation, and groundwater management. Typically, this process is modeled by a nonlinear system of partial differential equations derived by considering the mass conservation of each phase (e.g., oil, water), along with constitutive laws

Coupling of two-phase flow in fractured-vuggy reservoir with filling medium
Open Physics, 2017 Caves in fractured-vuggy reservoir usually contain lots of filling medium, so the two-phase flow in formations is the coupling of free flow and porous flow, and that usually leads to low oil recovery.
