... is studied on unstructured grids with two types of discretization, which are based on Fermat's principle and Eulerian discretization. The accuracy and convergence characteristics are investigated. The DToF-based fluid flow simulation is validated against finite volume reservoir simulation and can...

...]), which further incorporates filter-cake effects. Here, a more general analytic solution is introduced that is valid for any temporally varying pressure drop when a single fluid is used. For efficient computation of the model, a numerical discretization of the formation Darcy flow is alternatively...
