Geometric framework for modeling nonlinear flows in porous media, and its applications in engineering

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

This work represents an application of constant mean curvature graphs (as solutions of the mean curvature PDE) to non-linear non-Darcy flows in porous media. It relates time invariant pressure distribution graphs to graphs of constant mean curvature surfaces. This differential geometric interpretation provides an important tool for evaluating technological parameters in reservoir engineering.
