Three-phase, two-component Darcy flow with water (liquid & gas) and oil. More...

Description

Adaption of the fully implicit scheme to the three-phase water oil flow model.

The model is designed for simulating three fluid phases with water, gas, and a liquid contaminant (NAPL - non-aqueous phase liquid) This model implements three-phase two-component flow of three fluid phases \(\alpha \in \{ water, gas, NAPL \}\) each composed of up to two components \(\kappa \in \{ water, contaminant \}\). The standard multiphase Darcy approach is used as the equation for the conservation of momentum. For details on Darcy's law see dumux/flux/darcyslaw.hh.

By inserting Darcy's law into the equations for the conservation of the components, one transport equation for each component is obtained as

\begin{eqnarray*} && \frac{\partial (\sum_\alpha \phi \varrho_\alpha X_\alpha^\kappa S_\alpha )}{\partial t} - \sum\limits_\alpha \nabla \cdot \left\{ \frac{k_{r\alpha}}{\mu_\alpha} \varrho_\alpha x_\alpha^\kappa \mathbf{K} (\nabla p_\alpha - \varrho_\alpha \mathbf{g}) \right\} \nonumber \\ \nonumber \\ && - \sum\limits_\alpha \nabla \cdot \left\{ D_{\alpha, \text{pm}}^\kappa \varrho_\alpha \frac{1}{M_\kappa} \nabla X^\kappa_{\alpha} \right\} - q^\kappa = 0 \qquad \forall \kappa , \; \forall \alpha, \end{eqnarray*}

where:

Note that these balance equations are molar.

The model uses commonly applied auxiliary conditions like \(S_w + S_n + S_g = 1\) for the saturations and \(x^w_\alpha + x^c_\alpha = 1\) for the mole fractions. Furthermore, the phase pressures are related to each other via capillary pressures between the fluid phases, which are functions of the saturation, e.g. according to the approach of Parker et al.

The used primary variables are dependent on the locally present fluid phases An adaptive primary variable switch is included. The phase state is stored for all nodes of the system. Different cases can be distinguished:
