A new method for generating pseudo relative permeability curves and its applications in a high accuracy front tracking simulator is presented.

The method is applied on 3 different cases, which all gave good results. The different cases consisted of homogenous and inhomogeneous horizontal reservoir models.

The results using a front tracking simulator were more accurate than the results presented by Nyrønning [1], using a finite difference simulator.
