Abstract
The flexible control-volume finite-element (CVFE) method is used to co nstruct hybrid grids. The method involves use of a local cylindrical o r elliptical grid to represent near-well flow accurately while honorin g complex reservoir boundaries. The grid transition is smooth without any special discretization approximation, which eliminates the grid tr ansition problem experienced with Cartesian local grid refinement and hybrid Cartesian gridding techniques.
