Abstract
In this paper, we propose and analyze the convergence of a TPFA (Two Points Flux Approximation) finite volume scheme to approximate the two incompressible phase flow with dynamic capillary pressure in porous media. The fully implicit scheme is based on nonstandard approximation on mobilities and capillary pressure on the dual mesh. We derive a discrete variational formulation and we present a new result of convergence in a two or three dimensional porous medium. In comparison with static capillary pressure, the non-equilibrium capillary model requires more powerful techniques; especially the discrete energy estimates are not standard.
