Automatic Time Step Control to Resolve Hydromechanically Driven Fault Reactivation, Spontaneous Nucleation, and Seismic Arrest

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 59, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Abstract A physical understanding of the progression from flow‐driven (quasi‐static) poromechanical deformation to dynamic fault rupture is critical to the resilient operations of several engineering systems. These processes are bridged by a progression from fault reactivation to the spontaneous nucleation of unstable sliding.

Productivity simulation of hydraulically fractured wells based on hybrid local grid refinement and embedded discrete fracture model

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2020
Using current Embedded Discrete Fracture Models (EDFM) to predict the productivity of fractured wells has some drawbacks, such as not supporting corner grid, low precision in the near wellbore zone, and disregarding the heterogeneity of conductivity ...

Reconstruct lower‐dimensional crack paths from phase‐field point cloud

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 124, Issue 15, Page 3329-3351, 15 August 2023., 2023
Abstract Because of the smeared representation of phase‐field fracture, reconstructing lower‐dimensional crack paths is challenging, which may impede the further applications of the phase‐field method in the modeling of fault friction and fluid flow in fracture.

A hydro‐mechanically‐coupled XFEM model for the injection‐induced evolution of multiple fractures

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 47, Issue 9, Page 1539-1558, 25 June 2023., 2023
Abstract In this paper, a two‐dimensional eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) solution is presented for the hydro‐mechanically coupled hydro‐frac‐induced propagation of multiple fractures in rocks. Fractures are considered one‐dimensional objects, and the rock matrix is regarded as a two‐dimensional medium.

Numerical simulation of fractured horizontal well considering threshold pressure gradient, non‐Darcy flow, and stress sensitivity

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 811-825, February 2023., 2023
To predict the production of fractured horizontal wells more accurately, we establish a numerical simulation model of fractured horizontal wells that considers the threshold pressure gradient, non‐Darcy flow, and stress sensitivity using the embedded discrete fracture model.
