Environmental applications of eclipse - a multiphase flow simulator used in the oil and gas industry

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:121037
The assessment and cleanup of sites contaminated with immiscible organic liquids and vapors may require simulation of multiphase flow. Current environmental modeling codes, however, suffer numerical difficulties in dealing with multiphase systems. These difficulties have been overcome by petroleum reservoir simulation codes during many years of commercial applications. This paper demonstrates the advantages of using ECLIPSE -- a petroleum reservoir simulation code -- to solve environmental problems.
