(petroleum engineering)

Analogic electrical-resistance model (electrolyte in a contoured container) of an underground reservoir based on Darcy's law, that is, the steady-state flow of liquids through porous media is analogous to the flow of current through an electrical conductor; used to predict conditions in gas-condensate oil reservoirs.
