Title: Dynamic pseudos: How accurate outside their parent case?

Conference ·
OSTI ID:153088

If properly constructed, dynamic pseudos allow the parent solution from which they were derived to be exactly reproduced, in a certain well-defined sense, in a subsequent coarse grid simulation. The paper reports extensive numerical experimentation, in 1D homogeneous and heterogeneous media, to determine the performance of pseudos when used outside their parent case. The authors perturb fluid viscosities and injection rate, as well as realization. Parent solutions are produced analytically, via a generalization of the Buckley-Leverett technique, as are true solutions in off-parent cases. Capillarity is neglected in these experiments, while gravity is sometimes retained in order to force rate sensitivity.
