{\rm F}_{\Gamma}(p, {\bf u}) = 0

where

reservoir boundary

reservoir pressure

fluid velocity

some function


The popular form of the Reservoir boundary flow condition @model is:

{\rm F}_{\Gamma}(p, {\bf u}) = \big[ a \cdot (p({\bf r}) - p_0) + \epsilon \cdot {\bf n} \cdot M \,  (\nabla p - \rho \, {\bf g})  \big]_{{\bf r} \in \Gamma} = 0

where

reservoir pressure

time

fluid density 

position vector

gradient operator

formation permeability to a given fluid

gravity vector

dynamic viscosity of a given  fluid

fluid velocity 

external normal to the reservoir boundary

a binary value


The two extreme cases of  are:

Constant PressureNo flow


The other examples of Reservoir boundary flow condition @model are provided by Aquifer Drive Models and Gas Cap Drive Models.
