Linearised Inversion of Vertically Fractured Media [PDF]
In the recent years several authors (Haugen at al., 1996; Lynn at al., 1995; Zillmer at al., 1998) have studied the characterization of horizontal transverse isotropic (HTS) equivalent fractured media by means of AVO and AVA analysis.

Scale dependency of fractional flow dimension in a fractured formation [PDF]
The flow dimensions of fractured media were usually predefined before the determination of the hydraulic parameters from the analysis of field data in the past.

Pneumatic fractures in confined granular media [PDF]
We perform experiments where air is injected at a constant overpressure P_{in}, ranging from 5 to 250 kPa, into a dry granular medium confined within a horizontal linear Hele-Shaw cell. The setup allows us to explore compacted configurations by preventing decompaction at the outer boundary, i.e., the cell outlet has a semipermeable filter such that ...

Reactive Flow in Fractured Porous Media [PDF]
In this work we present a model reduction procedure to derive a hybrid-dimensional framework for the mathematical modeling of reactive transport in fractured porous media. Fractures are essential pathways in the underground which allow fast circulation of the fluids present in the rock matrix, often characterized by low permeability.

Gypsum dissolution leads to the development of karstic features within much shorter timescales than in other sedimentary rocks, potentially leading to rapid deterioration of groundwater quality and increasing the risk of catastrophes caused by subsidence.

When conducting numerical upscaling, either for a fractured or a porous medium, it is important to account for anisotropy because in general, the resulting upscaled conductivity is anisotropic.

Robust Discretization of Flow in Fractured Porous Media [PDF]
Flow in fractured porous media represents a challenge for discretization methods due to the disparate scales and complex geometry. Herein we propose a new discretization, based on the mixed finite element method and mortar methods.

Numerical modeling of two-phase flows in heterogeneous and fractured media is of great interest in petroleum reservoir engineering. The classical model for two-phase flows in porous media is not completely thermodynamically consistent since the energy ...
