Abstract
This paper presents recent work done by Applied Mathematics group to improve our ability to model heat, mass and chemical transport in reservoirs. This work is mainly concerned with extensions to the geothermal simulator MULKOM written by Pruess and others at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. Changes in numerical algorithms used by the program have made it possible to solve moderate sized problems on Intel 386 (and up) based machines. The range of temperatures and pressures that may be modelled has been extended to 800?Cand bars.
