Abstract
Summary
In this study, a two-step upscaling method, already validated for absolute permeability determination, is extended to non-Darcy flows.
Inertial regime is generally observed near wellbores.
The upscaling process consists in evaluating the Forchheimer factor and induces several simulations in each spatial directions.
The method is applied on two different porous media (sphere packing and rock sample). These configurations are used to quantify the accuracy and demonstrate the convergence of the method.
