Math issues For single-phase flows Darcy law leads to linear equation: For multi-phase flow we recover nonlinear equtions: hyperbolic, degenerate parabolic etc….. 01/04/201701/04/2017

Math issues The mathematical model is a system of PDE with appropriate initial and boundary conditions the coefficients of the equations are poorly known stochastic approach geology + stochastic = geostatistic 01/04/201701/04/2017
