ABSTRACT

A reservoir may be divided in several domains with different rock types, that 
is with different relative permeability and capillary pressure curves. In the 
context of generalized finite volume methods, based on mixed-hybrid finite 
elements and Godunov methods, we show how such problems can be handled 
numerically in the case of a two-phase incompressible flow.
