We present and discuss a novel approach to deal with conservation properties for the simulation of nonlinear complex porous media flows in the presence of: 1) multiscale heterogeneity structures appearing in the elliptic-pressure-velocity and in the rock geology model, and 2) multiscale wave structures resulting from shock waves and rarefaction interactions from the nonlinear hyperbolic-transport model. For the pressure-velocity Darcy flow problem, we revisit a recent high-order and volumetric residual-based Lagrange multipliers saddle point problem to impose local mass conservation on convex polygons. We clarify and improve conservation properties on applications.For the hyperbolic-transport problem we introduce a newlocally conservative Lagrangian-Eulerian finite volume method. For the purpose of this work, we recast our method within the Crandall and Majda treatment of the stability and convergence properties of conservation-form, monotone difference, in which the scheme converges to the physical weak solution satisfying the entropy condition. This multiscale coupling approach was applied to several nontrivial examples to show that we are computing qualitatively correct reference solutions. We combine these procedures for the simulation of the fundamental two-phase flow problem with high-contrast multiscale porous medium, but recalling state-of-the-art paradigms on the of notion of solution in related multiscale applications. This is a first step to deal with out-of-reach multiscale systems with traditional techniques. We provide robust numerical examples for verifying the theory and illustrating the capabilities of the approach being presented.
