 The second part of the equations is the description of the

+dynamics of the saturation, i.e., how the relative concentration of the
+two fluids changes with time. The saturation equation for the displacing 
+fluid (water) is given by the following conservation law:
 @f{eqnarray*}
   S_{t} + \nabla \cdot (F(S) \mathbf{u}) = q_{w},

+Here, $q=\nabla\cdot \mathbf{u}$ is the total influx introduced

 @f[
-  q_{w} = F(S) * q,

   F(S)
   =
   \frac{k_{rw}(S)/\mu_{w}}{k_{rw}(S)/\mu_{w} + k_{ro}(S)/\mu_{o}}.
