Abstract

The solution of the Hermite collocation discretization of the partial differ- ential equations that govern subsurface multiphase flow and contaminant transport requires considerable computational effort. To minimize this bur- den, we solve these equations using the Bi-CGSTAB method with a red- black Gauss-Seidel preconditioning matrix. We find that our method of solution is virtually always
