    Abstract
    This paper presents an extension of the multiscale finite volume (MsFV) method to multi-resolution coarse grid solvers for single phase incompressible flows. To achieve this, a grid one level coarser than the coarse grids used in the MsFV method is constructed and the local problems are redefined to compute the basis and correction functions associated with this new grid. To construct the coarse-scale pressure equations, the coarse-scale transmissibility coefficients are calculated using a new multi-point flux approximation (MPFA) method. The estimated coarse-scale pressures are utilized to compute the multiscale pressure solution. Finally a reconstruction step is performed to produce a...
