Abstract
The highly compressible fluid flow through a three-scales rigid porous medium (pore, fracture, macroscopic sample) is investigated using a homogenization method. The macroscopic description is strongly dependent on the separation of the different scales, and three cases are considered. The pores either play the role of a compressible fluid reservoir, introduce a memory effect, or are ignored, respectively. The homogenization result is compared to classical phenomenological models that are available in the case of slightly compressible fluids. Pseudo-steady state models are shown to give a rough description of the phenomenon.
