Improved IMPES Scheme for the Simulation of Incompressible Three-Phase Flows in Subsurface Porous Media

In this work, an improved IMplicit Pressure and Explicit Saturation (IMPES) scheme is proposed to solve the coupled partial differential equations to simulate the three-phase flows in subsurface porous media. This scheme is the first IMPES algorithm for the three-phase flow problem that is locally m...
