Embedded Discrete Fracture Modeling as a Method to Upscale Permeability for Fractured Reservoirs
Energies, 2019 Fractured reservoirs are distributed widely over the world, and describing fluid flow in fractures is an important and challenging topic in research. Discrete fracture modeling (DFM) and equivalent continuum modeling are two principal methods used to ...
