Flow in Porous Media

Teaching semester

Autumn

Objectives and Content

The course includes equations for one- and multiphase flow in porous media with emphasis on qualitative and quantitative properties for models studied.

Learning Outcomes

After completed course, the students are expected to be able to

• describe notions like porosity, permeability or saturation
• describe miscible and immiscible flow in porous media
• describe what means harmonic average of permeability
• describe the principle of capillarity pressure and relative permeability
• give a complete model for a two-phase flow
• analyze the Riemann's problem and the Buckley Leverett solution.
