Abstract

A physically based approach to numerical miscible displacement model in a matrix-fracture system was developed. Matrix-fracture configuration was divided in two different domains: fractured media was considered as a free flow channel. Then Navier–Stokes, continuity and convection–diffusion equations were also employed. The matrix is solved with Darcy mass conservation and Diffusion for porous media. The system equation is solved about the scheme of finite differential method and finite volume.
