Three-dimensional solutions of nonlinear degenerate diffusion-convection processes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 July 2009
Abstract
The main objective of this work is to present, for practical use, some original results about several qualitative properties of the solutions of a large class of degenerate diffusion-convection equations arising from fluid mechanics. Current interest in models of the simultaneous motion of two immiscible incompressible liquids results from its significance for many applied fields such as, for instance, the theoretical modelling of oil reservoirs where the pores of a threedimensional porous medium contain some hydrocarbon component (oil). In secondary recovery, a second inexpensive fluid (water) is injected into the porous medium in order to push the oil towards the producing wells.
