Show affiliationsIn this work, the flow of power-law fluids through anisotropic fibrous media is revisited, upscaling the fluid flow at the pore scale with the homogenization method of multiple scale expansions for periodic structures. This upscaling technique permits a quantitative study of the seepage law by performing numerical simulation with simple two-dimensional periodic arrays of circular solid inclusions. The significant role of the solid fraction, the fluid rheology and the porous media anisotropy on the resulting macroscopic flow law is underlined from the simulation.
