Abstract
The simulation of realistic multiphase flow problems in porous media requires efficient solution methods and means for handling the complicated structure of the media. The numerical toolbox UG has been developed to be able to use the approaches-multigrid, unstructured grids, adaptivity, and parallel computing-for a wide range of applications. An extensive library of discretization schemes has been implemented with UG in the MUFTE project. In this paper we describe a finite volume method for two-phase flow in fractured porous media and present results for the parallel multigrid solution of a gas-water air sparging problem.
