This paper presents a general numerical formulation for simulating physical dispersion that avoids the convergence and grid-orientation problems associated with numerical dispersion. The formulation is applicable to a wide range of problems, including enhanced gasdrives with phase discontinuities. A new nine-point scheme is also presented, along with general rules for any nine-point scheme to obey Darcy's law. Converged solutions are obtained for displacements at adverse mobility ratios of 5,000 with no grid-orientation effects.
