On Full-Tensor Permeabilities of Porous Media from Numerical Solutions of the Navier-Stokes Equation

A numerical method is proposed to compute full-tensor permeability of porous media without artificial simplification. Navier-Stokes (N-S) equation and Darcy's law are combined to design these numerical experiments. This method can successfully detect the permeability values in principle directi...
