• Flow split characterization of two immiscible phases with different wettability scenarios: A numerical investigation using a coupled Cahn-Hilliard and Navier-Stokes system 

      Bao, Kai; Salama, Amgad; Sun, Shuyu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Numerical investigation of flow branching of two-phase immiscible fluids in a Y-shaped, planner channel is conducted by solving the coupled Cahn–Hilliard and Naiver–Stokes system with finite element method. In this system ...
    • Fully implicit simulation of polymer flooding with MRST 

      Bao, Kai; Lie, Knut-Andreas; Møyner, Olav; Liu, Ming (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The present work describes a fully implicit simulator for polymer injection implemented in the free, open-source MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox (MRST). Polymer injection is one of the widely used enhanced oil recovery ...
    • Numerical modeling of non-Newtonian fluid flow in fractures and porous media 

      Bao, Kai; Lavrov, Alexandre; Nilsen, Halvor Møll (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Non-Newtonian fluids having Bingham or power-law rheology are common in many applications within drilling and reservoir engineering. Examples of such fluids are drilling muds, foams, heavy oil, hydraulic-fracturing and ...
    • The Open Porous Media Flow Reservoir Simulator 

      Rasmussen, Atgeirr Flø; Sandve, Tor Harald; Bao, Kai; Lauser, Andreas; Hove, Joakim; Skaflestad, Bård; Klöfkorn, Robert; Blatt, Markus; Rustad, Alf Birger; Sævareid, Ove; Lie, Knut-Andreas; Thune, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The Open Porous Media (OPM) initiative is a community effort that encourages open innovation and reproducible research for simulation of porous media processes. OPM coordinates collaborative software development, maintains ...
