Abstract

A high order method is formulated for solving the compressible black-oil problem with capillary effects in one-dimensional domains. The sequential implicit formulation combined with the interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method is employed. The contribution of this work is to show convergence and robustness of high order polynomial approximations (up to fourth order) for saturated and undersaturated reservoirs.
