Macroscopic differential equations of mass and momentum balance for two immiscible fluids in a deformable porous medium are derived in an Eulerian framework using the continuum theory of mixtures. After inclusion of constitutive relationships, the resulting momentum balance equations feature terms c

The derivation of the governing equations for immiscible, two-phase flow through porous media by Whitaker (Transport in Porous Media 1, 105-125 (1986)) contains an error which is corrected in the present work. The modified equations contain terms not present in the original equations, but their pres
Unstructured mesh based discretization techniques can o er certain advantages relative to standard รฟnite di erence approaches which are commonly used in reservoir simulation, due to their exibility to model complex geological features and to their ability to easily incorporate mesh adaptation.
