Does the symmetry of absolute permeability influence relative permeability tensors in naturally fractured rocks?
Abstract Relative permeability is a tensorial property directly dependent on absolute permeability tensor which has been taking both symmetric and non-symmetric (full tensor) forms in the literature. Imposing symmetricity during upscaling absolute and effective phase permeabilities could alter both...
