On some numerical methods for solving 2D radial flow towards an oil well

In this paper we study a family of finite difference schemes in two dimensions to model the single phase flow of oil through heterogeneous porous media. That family depends on one parameter θ, O ≤ θ ≤ 1. Using a suitable order of equations and unknowns, a linear system of equations, with a particula...
