Abstract
Disclosed are computer implemented techniques for conducting a fluid simulation of a porous medium. These techniques involve retrieving a representation of a three dimensional porous medium, the representation including pore space corresponding to the porous medium, with the representation including at least one portion of under-resolved pore structure in the porous medium, defining a representative flow model that includes the under-resolved pore structure in the representation, and constructing by the computer system fluid force curves that correspond to fluid forces in the under-resolved pore structure in the representation.
