A Monte Carlo solution technique has been implemented within the framework of an implicit-pressure, explicit-saturation (IMPES) simulator for two-phase, or two-component, flow. The saturation equation is interpreted as a probability density function and solved statistically. This automatically triggers an unstable solution when the mobility ratio is unfavorable, thereby mimicking the instability produced by heterogeneities in the porous medium. Results are presented for linear and one-quarter five-spot miscible and immiscible problems.
