• dual porosity model
• gravity drainage
• transfer function

The simulation of fractured reservoir is conventionally performed by using dual porosity formulation in which the type of transfer function may be critical. Over the past few years, various models with their strength and weakness have been developed to account for matrix-fracture interporosity flow. However, some of them are unable to simulate some mechanisms like gravity drainage. In this work, the most well-known transfer functions have been examined for simulation of the gravity drainage in a single block model and an improvement has been introduced to modify them. The validation of the developed approach have been done by using fine grid simulation.
