An approach for discretizing the integral form of the flow equations in porous media is proposed. The method has the advantage of providing the correct block volume calculations and steady-state flow in curvilinear coordinates. The harmonic mean for permeability is also obtained from the discretization. The equations are developed for a general orthogonal curvilinear grid system in terms of the components of the metric tensor.
