This work aims to develop a scale transfer methodology in highly heterogeneous and anisotropic porous media, that makes it possible to solve elliptical problems with accuracy and low computational cost. A scale transfer method is developed that uses the Multiscale Finite Volume Method (MSFVM) to perform a flow based numerical upscaling of absolute permeability. The transmissibility matrix was built in the coarse mesh over the projection and restriction operators obtaining permeability in the coarse scale. This allows to solve only local problems in the coarse mesh volumes and to use
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.
