Two-Phase Incompressible Flow with Dynamic Capillary Pressure in a Heterogeneous Porous Media
We prove the existence of weak solutions of a two-incompressible immiscible wetting and non-wetting fluids phase flow model in porous media with dynamic capillary pressure. This model is a coupled system which includes a nonlinear parabolic saturation equation and an elliptic pressure–velocity equation. In the regularized case, the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution are obtained. We let the regularization parameter be η→0 to prove the existence of weak solutions.
