Abstract: Abstract Dual porosity and dual porosity/permeability models are considered for multidimensional, multiphase flow in fractured porous media. Different approaches for the treatment of matrix-fracture flow transfer terms are discussed; special attention is paid to the inclusion of capillary pressure, gravity, and viscous forces and pressure gradients across matrix blocks in these transfer terms. Numerical experiments are reported for the benchmark problems of the sixth comparative solution project organized by the society of petroleum engineers.
