Abstract: Many scholars have studied the interporosity flow function (IFF) and shape factor. However, the existing research does not consider the complex microstructure of dual media and the influence of fluid types on interporosity flow. In this paper, the anisotropic IFF and shape factor model of power-law fluid in smooth and rough fracture dual media are established by using the rough capillary bundle model and considering the influence of the microstructure of dual media and the type of fluid. The relationship between IFF, shape factor, and relative roughness in dual media is studied. It is found that the relative roughness is inversely proportional to the IFF and inversely proportional to the shape factor. In addition, the model is compared with the existing research and experimental data to verify the rationality of the model.
