... Method (LBM) to simulate fluid flow in randomly selected blocks and accurately compute the directional permeability of these blocks by simulating Darcy flow through them. The permeability tensor of other blocks is estimated by applying Kriging method based on the estimated porosity of all the blocks...

... Abstract The single-continuum approach employing effective permeability is one of the practical methods for simulating naturally fractured reservoirs. The mixed finite volume element (MFVE) method for full-tensor model was used to deal with permeability tensors resulted from upscaling...

... media by applying effective permeability tensor in each grid block and allows the direct calculation of fluid flow velocity. Flux continuous control volume mixed finite element technique is used to simultaneously solve two coupled partial differential equations for fluid pressure and velocity. Effective...

... permeability. The effective permeability tensors are also determined for oriented fractures. Analyses by non-parametric regression show that the diagonal elements, k xx and k yy are highly affected by the angle between the oriented fractures and the pressure gradient, while the off-diagonal elements k...
