Abstract

The work is aimed at numerical investigation of multi-phase contaminant transport in heterogeneous porous media at simulation of oil recovery processes. An original algorithm for construction of hierarchical locally-refined Cartesian meshes with adaptation to the solution in its high-gradient regions is developed and implemented on distributed memory multiprocessors using dynamic load balancing.
