Wu, Y. (2002). An approximate analytical solution for non-Darcy flow toward a well in fractured media. Water Resources Research 38: doi: 10.1029/2001WR000713. issn: 0043-1397.

This paper presents an approximate analytical solution for non-Darcy flow of a slightly compressible fluid through a fractured reservoir. The analytical solution is obtained using the traditional Warren-Root solution superposed on a dimensionless non-Darcy flow coefficient. The model formulation incorporates the Forchheimer equation into the Warren-Root model for describing non-Darcy flow through fractured media. The approximate analytical solution, verified for its accuracy by comparison with numerical solutions, provides a useful tool in analyzing non-Darcy flow in fractured reservoirs for practical applications.
