Currently, fluid flow simulations performed within these media need upscalingo(or averaging) techniques. Hence, their results are given by averaging on cells which are much larger than the geologicalmodelcells.To overcome this problem, the Dual Mesh Method is proposed here, whose purpose is to solve the pressure equation on a low resolutiongrid, and then to interpolate pressure over the fine mesh by taking into accountsmall scale heterogeneitiesof the medium. The aim of this paper is this interpolation step; its implementation is presented and illustrated in a fivespot pattern for three differentrock characteristics.References and Illustrationsat end of paper
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
