Investigation of the Effect of Natural Fractures on Multiple Shale-Gas Well Performance Using Non-Intrusive EDFM Technology

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
The influence of complex natural fractures on multiple shale-gas well performance with varying well spacing is poorly understood. It is difficult to apply the traditional local grid refinement with structured or unstructured gridding techniques to ...

A new study of multi-phase mass and heat transfer in natural gas hydrate reservoir with an embedded discrete fracture model

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Studies of the hydrate cores have shown that natural fractures can be frequently observed in hydrate reservoirs, resulting in a fracture-filled hydrate.

A phase-field model for fractures in incompressible solids

open access: yes, 2019
Within this work, we develop a phase-field description for simulating fractures in incompressible materials. Standard formulations are subject to volume-locking when the solid is (nearly) incompressible. We propose an approach that builds on a mixed form

Numerical Exploration of Thermal Shock Resistance in MgO–C Refractories

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A mesostructure‐resolved numerical framework is developed to evaluate the thermal shock resistance of MgO–C refractories. By modeling interface debonding under rapid temperature changes and introducing a modified thermal shock parameter that accounts for mesocracks, the study shows how graphite content and aggregate size influence thermal shock ...

Computer simulation of fatigue under diametrical compression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We study the fatigue fracture of disordered materials by means of computer simulations of a discrete element model. We extend a two-dimensional fracture model to capture the microscopic mechanisms relevant for fatigue, and we simulate the diametric ...

Bioinspired Shape‐Memory Hook Fasteners With Programmable Interlocking and Silent Release

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Bioinspired hook fasteners made from epoxy shape‐memory polymers are shown to switch between strong, secure attachment and gentle, silent release when heated. By combining programmable geometry and material response, these adaptive fasteners outperform commercial systems in strength and noise control, enabling new solutions for robotics, medical ...

Performance Prediction of Refractured Wells Based on Embedded Discrete-Fracture Modeling Method

open access: yesGeofluids, 2022
In unconventional reservoirs, the production rate of the initially fractured well will decrease rapidly as the development proceeds. In order to maintain economic well productivity of the initial fracture, the industries can create refractures to prevent

Calibration of Complex Discrete Fracture Network Using Microseismic Events and Fracture Propagation Modelling with Seamless Reservoir Production Simulation

open access: yesLithosphere, 2022
During the unconventional reservoir development, a proper modelling of the underground fracture networks and their effects on production is crucial for reservoir development potential and realistic economic analysis.

Strong embedded discontinuities for simulating fracture in quasi-brittle materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
In this paper embedded strong discontinuities are used to model discrete cracking in materials like concrete. In the approach followed a discontinuous displacement field is considered and the deformation is localized at a surface of zero width.
