The paper investigates the system of PDEs for two-phase n-component flow in porous media consisting of hyperbolic terms for advective transport, parabolic terms of dissipative effects and relaxation non-equilibrium equations. We found that for several dissipative and non-equilibrium systems, using the stream-function as a free variable instead of time separates the general (n + 1) x (n + 1) system into an n x n auxiliary system and one scalar lifting equation. In numerous cases, where the auxiliary system allows for exact solution, the general flow problem is reduced to numerical or semi-analytical solution of one lifting equation. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
