Abstract
A preconditioning technique has been used as an upscaling method, Numerical results created by the preconditioning technique are compared with numerical results created by a homogenization technique. This is done in 2D for both one- and two-phase flow problems. Large differences , which favor the preconditioning technique, are observed for two-phase flow problems. The method is also implemented and tested in 3D.
