Abstract
⺠We develop a semianalytical model for the statistical moments of flow in heterogeneous media. ⺠The model is suited for strong heterogeneity and anisotropy. ⺠The solutions are checked using extensive three-dimensional numerical simulations. ⺠Anisotropy increases the variance of the longitudinal velocity and reduces that of transverse components. ⺠The velocity pdf is generally far from Gaussian, except for weakly heterogeneous formations.
