Water Saturation In a Heterogeneous Oil Reservoir (Panel A2)Researchers at the Center for Subsurface Modeling (CSM) at the University of Texas investigate the use of high-performance parallel processing to simulate the behavior of petroleum reservoirs and groundwater aquifers. Here water has been injected into an oil well (foreground) and is spreading down and outward under the influence of gravity. In the background, four production wells are producing a mixture of oil and water. Phil Keenan |

Mesh Adaptivity near an Oil Well (Panel A6)Here the Rice Unstructured Flow Code (RUF), a C++ implementation of mixed finite element methods on general geometries for single phase flow problems with full tensor coefficients, is used to generate a sample 2-D grid that illustrates mesh adaptivity near wells (top) and the corresponding pressure field (bottom).
