Title:
METHOD OF DETERMINING FLUID FLOW
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002018747
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A method of determining fluid flow in a volume containing two or more fluid components, comprising determining a pressure field for the volume. One or more streamlines are determined from the pressure field, and the fluid composition is solved for the fluid composition along the or each streamline. The pressure may also be solved along the or each streamline. The step of solving along the or each streamline may be performed using a finite difference technique.
