Abstract
This project aims to explore the mathematical principles governing the fluid dynamics of underground oil and gas reservoirs. Within the field of petroleum engineering there are many different variables and factors that change the way fluid within petroleum reservoirs behaves. Mathematical models can be developed using what we know about fluid dynamics and other areas of study to predict how fluids within reservoirs behave, making research like this very important to industry applications.
Did this research project receive funding support (Spark, SURF, Research Abroad, Student Internal Grants, Collaborative, Climbing, or Ignite Grants) from the Office of Undergraduate Research?
