ABSTRACT

Grid-block permeability scaling-up for numerical Previous HitreservoirNext Hit Previous HitsimulationsNext Hit has been discussed for a long time in the literature. It is now recognized that a full permeability tensor is needed to get an accurate Previous HitreservoirTop description at large scale; however, two major difficulties are encountered: (1) grid-block permeability cannot be properly defined because it depends on boundary conditions and (2) discretization of flow equations with a full permeability tensor is not straightforward, and little work has been done on this subject.
