## Abstract In basin modelling the thermodynamics of a multicomponent multiphase fluid flux are computationally too expensive when derived from an equation of state and the Gibbs equality constraints. In this article we present a novel implicit molar mass formulation technique using binary mixture

Abstract
We develop an improved numerical simulator for subsurface compressible flows through porous media with point sources and sinks, which are governed by different equations of state. Computational experiments show that the simulator can generate stable simulation for different types of incompressible or compressible flows involving light or heavy components in porous media with point sources and sinks, large mobility ratios, discontinuous permeabilities and porosities, and anisotropic dispersion in tensor form, even though very large time steps and spatial grids are used. ยฉ 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This paper is devoted to the modelling of isothermal low Reynolds and Mach numbers transient compressible flow through porous media. Traditionally, this type of flow at the macroscopic level is described by the classical Darcy's law combined with a mass balance that includes the transient term. This
The development of a numerical method for modelling two-phase flows and solute transport, particularly with interphase exchange in porous media, is presented. The governing equations are derived to describe two immiscible and compressible fluids flows such as water-air and two-phase solute transport
