This investigation is an outgrowth of my doctoral dissertation at
Princeton University. I am particularly grateful to Professors
George F. Pinder and William G. Gray of Princeton for their advice
during both my research and my writing. I believe that
finite-element collocation holds promise as a numer ical scheme for
modeling complicated flows in porous media. However, there seems to
be a "conventional wisdom" maintaining that collocation is
hopelessly beset by oscillations and is, in some way, fundamentally
inappropriate for multiphase flows. I hope to dispel these
objections, realizing that others will remain for further work. The
U. S. National Science Foundation funded much of this study through
grant number NSF-CEE-8111240. TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ;;
