9402255 Douglas This U. S.-Brazil Cooperative Science Program award supports travel expenses related to the visits of Drs. Jim Douglas and Felipe Pereira, Purdue University, Indiana, to Brazil. The purpose of the visits is to perform modeling, analysis and design of numerical methods for the simulation of multiphase flows in multi-length scale, heterogeneous porous media. The Brazilian researchers involved in this project are Prof. Paulo Jorge S. Paes Leme of the Instituto Politecnico of the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro and Dr. Mauricio Kischinhevsky, of the Universidade Federal Fluminense. The project aims at two problems: understanding the hydrodynamics involving secondary oil recovery in petroleum reservoirs, particularly in naturally fractured reservoirs. Secondly, the project will simulate contamination of ground water in formations that present multi-length scale heterogeneities, and/or that can possibly be fractured. The computations involve the use of massively parallel processing. Both the U.S. and Brazil confront critical energy problems, and are interested in reducing contamination of ground water. Therefore both countries are expected to benefit from this collaboration. ***

9402255道格拉斯 这个U。S.-巴西合作科学计划奖支持印第安纳州普渡大学的Jim道格拉斯和Felipe佩雷拉博士访问巴西的旅费。 访问的目的是进行建模，分析和设计数值方法，用于模拟多长度尺度，非均质多孔介质中的多相流。 参与该项目的巴西研究人员是保罗·豪尔赫·S·里约热内卢州立大学理工学院的Paes莱梅和联邦弗卢米嫩塞大学的Mauricio Kischinhevsky博士。 该项目旨在解决两个问题：了解涉及石油储层，特别是天然裂缝储层中二次采油的流体动力学。 其次，该项目将模拟存在多长度尺度不均匀性和/或可能破裂的地层中的地下水污染。 计算涉及使用大规模并行处理。 美国和巴西都面临着严重的能源问题，并对减少地下水污染感兴趣。 因此，预计两国将从这一合作中受益。 ***
