- This outcome of a collaboration between two institutions resolves a long-standing problem associated with the use of classical control volume and finite element methods to model flow in highly heterogeneous porous media. Funded by two EPSRC and one Horizon 2020 projects as well as industrial partner TOTAL, the developed open-source software IC-FIRST (http://multifluids.github.io) is widely used in academia and industry. This has also led to additional funding such as EPSRC programme grant £6.5M (EP/T000414/1) and EPSRC grand challenge £2.8M grant (EP/T003189/1) as well as close collaboration with BP for multiphase flow research.
