Notes:
The immiscible displacement problem in reservoir engineering can be formulated as a system of partial differential equations which includes an elliptic pressure-velocity equation and a degenerate parabolic saturation equation. We apply a sequential numerical scheme to this problem where time splitting is used to solve the saturation equation. In this procedure one approximates advection by a higher-order Godunov method and diffusion by a mixed finite element method. Numerical results for this scheme applied to gas-oil centrifuge experiments are given.
