SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This work presents a computationally efficient method utilizing a flood front tracking technique "Adaptive moving boundary" for simulating convective dominated flow problems. The method segregates the reservoir into two regions, active and inactive; the active region forms the curtailed system whose boundary conditions represent the inactive region. These regions adaptively change with the advancement of the floodfront until they eventually collapse to cover the entire reservoir model.
