Abstract

Motivated by well-driven flow transport in porous media, Chen and Yue proposed a numerical homogenization method for Green function [Multiscale Model. Simul.1 (2003) 260–303]. In that paper, the authors focused on the well pore pressure, so the local error analysis in maximum norm was presented. As a continuation, we will consider a fully discrete scheme and its multiscale error analysis on the velocity field.
