This course covers the comprehensive understanding of flow through porous media. It begins with the introduction of streamlines and stream tubes, commonly used in petroleum engineering and oil and gas reservoir simulation. The course further explains the use of stream function and potential function to represent the flow. It also discusses the concept of complex potential and its application in understanding the resultant velocity and direction of flow when multiple elementary flows are present. The course delves into pressure equations, velocities, stream functions, and potential functions. It also discusses elementary flows such as source, sink, vortex, and unidirectional flow, and how to simulate complex situations using these elementary flows. The course concludes with an example of superposition of source and uniform flow and the resulting streamline, potential line, and velocity profiles.
