Abstract
The present method of capillary effects inclusion in modelling of flow in porous and fractured media and the recent improvements are critically reviewed. The way of capillary pressure inclusion, based on volume
averaging method, completed by some new formulae, is presented. A set of new equations and their benefits as compared with standard and improved models are discussed.
