Abstract

Recent experiments of Noetinger and Jacquin [7] showed high accuracy of the effective three-dimensional permeability formula given by the cube of the average of the third root of local permeability. Here, a model of a locally multiscaled lognormal permeability is proposed for which this formula is asymptotically exact. The model reflects the real situation of many (asymptotically infinite) length scales of heterogeneties.
