A fractional step scheme with modified characteristic finite differences run- ning in a parallel arithmetic is presented to simulate a nonlinear percolation system of multilayer dynamics of fluids in a porous medium with moving boundary values. With the help of theoretical techniques including the change of regions, piecewise threefold quadratic interpolation, calculus of variations, multiplicative commutation rule of differ- ence operators, multiplicative commutation rule of difference operators, decomposition of high order difference operators, induction hypothesis, and prior estimates, an optimal order in 12 norm is displayed to complete the convergence analysis of the numerical algo- rithm. Some numerical results arising in the actual simulation of migration-accumulation of oil resources by this method are listed in the last section.
Numerical simulation of oil migration and accumulation is to describe the history of oil migration and accumulation in basin evolution. It is of great value in evaluation of oil resources and determination of the location and amount of oil deposits. Based on such actual conditions as the effects of fluid mechanics in porous media and 3-dimensional geology characteristics,a kind of modified method of second order upwind finite difference fractional steps implicit interactive scheme was put forward. As for the actual problem of Dongying hollow,Huimin hollow,Tanhai region and Yangxin hollow in Shengli Petroleum Oil Field,a numerical simulation test was carried out,and the result is basically coincident with the actual conditions. For the model problem,optimal order estimates were derived. Thus the well-known problem on oil resources was solved.

A kind of second-order implicit upwind fractional step finite difference methods are presented for the numerical simulation of coupled systems for enhanced （chemical） oil production with capillary force in the porous media. Some techniques, e.g., the calculus of variations, the energy analysis method, the commutativity of the products of difference operators, the decomposition of high-order difference operators, and the theory of a priori estimate, are introduced. An optimal order error estimate in the l2 norm is derived. The method is successfully used in the numerical simulation of the enhanced oil production in actual oilfields. The simulation results are satisfactory and interesting.

We propose a modified upwind finite difference fractional step scheme for the computational fluid mechanics simulations of a three-dimensional photoelectric semiconductor detector. We obtain the optimal l^2-norm error estimates by using the techniques including the calculus of variations, the energy methods, the induction hypothesis, and a priori estimates. The proposed scheme is successfully applied to the simulation of the photoelectric semiconductor detectors.
The research of the miscible oil and water displacement problem with moving boundary values is of great value to the history of oil-gas transport and accumulation in the basin evolution as well as to the rational evaluation in prospecting and exploiting oil-gas resources. The mathematical model can be described as a coupled system of nonlinear partial differential equations with moving boundary values. For the twodimensional bounded region, the upwind finite difference schemes are proposed. Some techniques, such as the calculus of variations, the change of variables, and the theory of a priori estimates, are used. The optimal orderl2-norm estimates are derived for the errors in the approximate solutions. The research is important both theoretically and practically for the model analysis in the field, the model numerical method, and the software development.
