We derive a multiphase flow model oriented to CO2 sequestration and complete it with a hysteresis operator relating saturations to capillary pressures. A relaxation iterative algorithm for the numerical treatment of the model is developed and implemented. Numerical simulations of a three-phase flow are presented.
