Efficient difference schemes for the three-phase non-isothermal flow problem

Abstract

The paper focuses on constructing and investigation of cost-effective difference schemes for the numerical solution of the two-dimensional three-phase non-isothermal flow problem without capillary and gravitational forces. In this paper, the finite difference method is used to solve the problem numerically. The method of energy inequalities is applied to examine the stability of the finite difference scheme with respect to the initial data and the right-hand sides of the equations. Three cost-effective difference schemes are constructed on the base of the studied scheme. The efficiency of the proposed algorithms is analyzed on the basis of comparing the average time spent on the numerical implementation of one time layer.
