Abstract
The effects of non-Darcy flow laws are investigated for two geothermal reservoir types: multiphase and Hot Dry Rock (HDR). Long term thermal behavior is emphasized as short term pressure transient behavior is addressed in the oil field literature. Comparison of Darcy and non-Darcy flow laws are made.
