This paper addresses the challenge of simulating fluid flow in complex porous media by integrating nanoscale phenomena (capillary condensation) into a Pore Network Modeling framework. The use of Density Functional Theory (DFT) to model capillary condensation and its impact on permeability is a key contribution. The study's focus on the influence of pore geometry and thermodynamic conditions on permeability provides valuable insights for upscaling techniques.
