Hanna Brourman will do her undergraduate thesis research on fingering behavior. The goal is to investigate the importance of various physical parameters, such as (un)correlated formation heterogeneities, as well as numerical issues that can influence the reliability of numerical simulations. For the latter, we have the option to compare results from our own reservoir simulator to two widely used simulators that were developed in the industry and a National Laboratory, respectively.
