THE UPWIND FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD FOR MOVING BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM OF COUPLED SYSTEM

doi:10.1016/S0252-9602(11)60282-8

Abstract

Abstract:

Coupled system of multilayer dynamics of fluids in porous media is to describe the history of oil-gas transport and accumulation in basin evolution. It is of great value in rational evaluation of prospecting and exploiting oil-gas resources. The mathematical model can be described as a coupled system of nonlinear partial differential equations with moving boundary values. The upwind finite difference
schemes applicable to parallel arithmetic are put forward and two-dimensional and three-dimensional schemes are used to form a
complete set. Some techniques, such as change of variables, calculus of variations, multiplicative commutation rule of difference operators, decomposition of high order difference operators and prior estimates, are adopted. The estimates in l ²norm are derived to determine the error in the approximate solution. This method was already applied to the numerical simulation of migration-accumulation of oil resources.

Key words: multilayer coupled system, moving boundary values, upwind finite difference method, convergence, numerical simulation of energy sources
