Abstract
Methods and systems simulate hydrocarbon production from a reservoir and predict impact of flow control devices on production for such reservoir simulation. The methods may transform equations capturing properties that describe flow of fluids through the flow control devices into input parameters desired for use with reservoir simulators. The equations may be determined based on physical properties of the flow control devices or fitted to match experimental or computational fluid dynamics data.
