Notes:
Numerical simulation of steam flush for clean-up of non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) contaminated groundwater sites involves solution of the multiphase, multicomponent subsurface flow equations. This paper describes techniques for discretizing problems with horizontal wells in a three-dimensiontetrahedral mesh. The effectiveness of non-linear flux limiters for reducing numerical dispersion is discussed. Primary variable selection and thermodynamic state transition rules will also be compared. Some example results for several steam flush scenarios will be presented.
