CHARACTERIZATION OF THE SPEED OF A TWO-PHASE INTERFACE IN A POROUS MEDIUM ADIL ABBASSI AND GAWTUM NAMAH Received 8 November 2004 and in revised form 15 February 2005 A typical situation of oil reservoir simulation is considered in a porous medium where the resident oil is displaced by water injection. An explicit expression of the speed of the oil- water interface is given in a pseudo-2D case via the resolution of an auxiliary Riemann problem. The explicit 2D solution is then corroborated with numerical simulations by solving the transport equation with a generalized scheme of Harten type. 1. Introduction Let Ω be a rectangular domain in R2 and let ∂Ω be its boundary. In this paper, we will be interested in the resolution of a system of type  ∂u  (P ) ε ∂t + div V f (u) = 0 in Ω × (0,+∞), (1.1)   div V = 0 in Ω with V = −m(u)∇p , (1.2) subject to the initial condition u(0,x ) = u (x ), x ∈ Ω, (1.3) 0 and the following boundary condition for the variable u: u(t,x ) = 1 on Γin (1.4) together with the conditions for p : ∂p p = 1 on Γout , V ·n = −m(u) =g on ∂Ω \ Γout (1.5) ∂n and where Γin and Γout are as defined below.
