Fractured reservoir simulations. In particular:

Modeling of incompressible and compressible multi-fluid flow using Mixed Hybrid Finite Element methods

Mass transfer using the higher order Discontinuous Galerkin method to reduce dispersion and mesh orientation effects w.r.t. finite volume methods and allow for highly heterogeneous and an-isotropic domains

Unstructured meshing in 2D and 3D, with discrete fractures in (N-1)D, both using control volumes and fully explicit (no transfer functions necessary)

Modeling of (physical) dispersion, diffusion and capillarity

Compositional modeling of, for instance, CO₂ injection
