Consider the elliptic equation \(- \text{div} A \text{ grad } u=f\) with possible anisotropic coefficients of the tensor \(A=A(x)\). If \(A\) is piecewise constant on a mesh that is finer than the actual finite volume (element) mesh, then candidates for the effective coefficients on the coarser mesh are the arithmetic, geometric, or harmonic means. In the framework of the primal-dual formulation \[ \text{div} p = f,\quad p =-A^{-1}\text{ grad } u \] plus boundary conditions, the harmonic mean is the natural choice. Numerical results are given for upscaling with arithmetic and harmonic means, respectively.
