Heterogeneous media is a kind of multi‐scale media. The scale of the fracture reservoir could reach up to millimeter. Simulating a fractured carbonate model with finite‐difference method is calling for the same scale of sample steps. A finite‐difference method with high power of grid steps variation is presented here. Spatial and temporal sampling steps can be optimized according to material properties and model geometry. The ratio of grid steps could reach up to hundreds or more. We improve the method of numerical grid division in order to add more flexibility and efficiency to finite‐difference method with grid variation. The numerical results support that the method can describe heterogeneous media on millimeter scale accurately with efficiency, and the property made the method suitable for modeling cavity or fractured carbonate reservoirs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
