.... In cases where unstructured grids are used or the geology inside the grid block is not aligned with the block geometry, full permeability tensors arise instead of a diagonal tensor. The focus of this work is on development of a method to characterize the full permeability tensor for an unstructured grid...

... the conventional thermal reservoir simulators which are usually developed using finite deference method (FDM), the proposed FEM models have the advantage of easily incorporating the full permeability tensor. A numerical example is presented to evaluate the suitability and the validity of the developed coupled...

... Abstract This work examines methods for modelling reservoir flow in presence of permeability tensor. Usually, the control volume multipoint discretizations are used to handle simultaneously the tensor permeability and complex geometry. Instead, the method used in this work is based on simple...

... Abstract A general procedure for characterizing complex reservoirs utilizing their permeability tensor is being developed by integrating data and methods from different disciplines. Permeability tensors for geologically defined fracture patterns are derived, and finally these smallscale...
