The conclusions in connection with the mechanisms of shock generation are summarized here. The main conclusion is that there is a clear difference between the mechanisms of shock generation in miscibie and immiscible displacements. In particular, Due ley-Leverett Theory which has been the main tool to understand shocks in immiscible displacement, is not applicable to shocks in miscibie displacement
