ABSTRACT: In the last decades, the
numerical analysis has abridged the time and cost of oil extractive operations,
and thus their implementation has been promoted so much that today is used to
solve a large number of phenomena that occur during the extraction of
hydrocarbons, not only economizing the operation, but also shedding light to
the phenomenon, and helping to have a better understanding. Nevertheless in
spite of the success of the applications of numerical simulations, it has been
until today, looking for their optimization, because the discretization methods
of the domain and the model are through meshes, which require modifying the
physics of the problem so that this matches the numerical method, and not in
backwards.
