Comparisons of FV-MHMM with Other Finite Volume Multiscale Methods

摘要

Upscaling and multiscale methods in reservoir engineering remain a complicated task especially when dealing with heterogeneities. In this study, we focus on flow field problem with a Darcy's equation considered at the fine scale. The main difficulty is then to obtain an accurate description of the flow behavior by using multiscale methods available in petroleum engineering. We cross-compare three of the main finite volume formulations: multiscale finite volume method (MsFv), multiscale restriction smoothed (MsRSB) and a new finite volume method, FV-MHMM. Comparisons are done in terms of accuracy to reproduce the fine scale behavior.
