Predictive modelling of flow conductivity in a heterogeneous medium

摘要

The invention concerns a method and a system for predicting the apparent flow conductivity of a heterogeneous medium. According to the invention, the following steps are implemented:choosing a flow conductivity element type with a given set of characteristic parameters;determining equations for said flow in said element type;determining a network statistics for said given set of characteristic parameters; andperforming a stochastic homogenisation of said equations, for said network statistics. The invention applies more particularly to the predicting of the apparent viscosity of non-Newtonian fluids in a heterogeneous porous medium.
