Title: Multi-scale finite-volume method for use in subsurface flow simulation
Inventor: JENNY PATRICK
IPC: G06G7/48
Filed: 2005-11-21
Abstract: A multi-scale finite-volume (MSFV) method to solve elliptic problems with a plurality of spatial scales arising from single or multi-phase flows in porous media is provided. The method efficiently captures the effects of small scales on a coarse grid, is conservative, and treats tensor permeabilities correctly.

This leads to a multi-point discretization scheme for a finite-volume solution algorithm.  Transmissibilities for the MSFV method are preferably constructed only once as a preprocessing step and can be computed locally.
