Summary
I am a research fellow in the Novel Reservoir and Simulation group (NORMS). I am the main developer of the Imperial College Finite Element Reservoir simulator (IC-FERST), which is the next-generation reservoir simulator developed by this group. I also collaborate in the development of the inertia dominated part of the simulator and the flooding capabilities of the simulator, named Floodity.
IC-FERST simulation
IC-FERST is a multiphase flow simulator based on the latest state-of-the-art technologies in CFD, such as unstructured dynamic mesh optimization, high order time and space discretization, discontinuous pressure representation novel double control volume finite element method formulation and global non-linear solvers to deal with high Courant numbers simulations, to the field of multiphase flow in porous media. The webpage of the project can be found here.
