Pump-stopping pressure drop model considering transient leak-off of fracture network
By introducing the coupling flow expressions of main fracture-matrix, secondary fracture-matrix and main fracture-secondary fracture into the traditional main fracture material balance equation, the “main fracture—secondary fracture—matrix” leak-off ...

Service availability and readiness for hip fracture care in low- and middle-income countries in South and Southeast Asia [PDF]
Aims: The aim of this study was to describe the current pathways of care for patients with a fracture of the hip in five low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) in South Asia (Nepal and Sri Lanka) and Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, and the ...

Improvements to the Fracture Pipe Network Model for Complex 3D Discrete Fracture Networks [PDF]
Abstract Fractures widely present in the subsurface and play a critical role in the fluid flow processes in porous media. The Fracture Pipe Network Model (FPNM) is an efficient method to represent and calculate fluid flow properties as a particular part of Discrete Fracture Networks (DFNs) method compared to direct numerical ...

The Open-Fracture Patient Evaluation Nationwide (OPEN) study : epidemiology of open fracture care in the UK. [PDF]
AIMS: Understanding of open fracture management is skewed due to reliance on small-number lower limb, specialist unit reports and large, unfocused registry data collections. To address this, we carried out the Open Fracture Patient Evaluation Nationwide (

Fracture networks in sea ice [PDF]
Fracturing and refreezing of sea ice in the Kara sea are investigated using complex networkanalysis. By going to the dual network, where the fractures are nodes and their intersectionslinks, we gain access to topological features which are easy to measure and hence comparewith modeled networks.

Quantum algorithms for geologic fracture networks
AbstractSolving large systems of equations is a challenge for modeling natural phenomena, such as simulating subsurface flow. To avoid systems that are intractable on current computers, it is often necessary to neglect information at small scales, an approach known as coarse-graining.

Effect of Pre-Damage on the Fracture Energy of Double-Network Hydrogels [PDF]
Double-network (DN) hydrogels are tough soft materials and the high fracture resistance can be attributed to the formation of a large damage zone (internal fracture of the brittle first network) around the crack tip.

A PDE-constrained optimization formulation for discrete fracture network flows [PDF]
We investigate a new numerical approach for the computation of the 3D flow in a discrete fracture network that does not require a conforming discretization of partial differential equations on complex 3D systems of planar fractures.

Reactivation of natural fractures network by hydraulic fracturing [PDF]
Modelling the process of induced fracture initiation, propagation and interaction with natural fractures is a very challenged task. Significant progress has been made in recent years in the development of complex fracture models to address the needs for more suitable design tools than the conventional planar fracture models.
