Abstract

This chapter deals with an extension of the double constraint methodology to handle clusters of grid volumes, or zones. In each zone, the conductivities in the grid volume are correlated. The equations presented in this chapter exemplify this “zone interaction” for clusters with the same grid block conductivities. The results of a case study with a limited number of zones are summarized.
