The theory of transient flow of slightly compressible fluids through naturally fractured reservoirs based on the double porosity conceptualization is summarized. The main achievements in the theory of fluid flow in leaky aquifer systems which are closely related with the double-porosity, double-permeability problems are also addressed. The main emphasis of this review is the analytical treatment of these problems.
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.
