Mathematics of oil production
Abstract
Research undertaken in fluid dynamics covered the following: (1) oil recovery which includes in situ combustion, hot water drive, mathematical model for percolation involving pore microstructure, gas flows with heat release and shock waves, wave propagation in a viscous heat conducting gas, and moving boundary problems; (2) general seismic problems, modeling which involved wave propagation in nonlinear viscoelastic media, general behavior of acceleration waves in a layered rod of variable cross section, and propagation of acceleration waves in an arbitrary layered region; and (3) general elastic properties of solids (orthotropic plates and anomalous wave propagation) in nonlinear elastic solids.
