Study on Stress-Dependent Permeability of Fracture Networks in Fractured Porous Media
Geofluids, 2021 In order to investigate the stress-sensitive characteristics of fracture networks under reservoir actual stress condition and its influence on the seepage in fractured porous media, we carried out permeability tests on experimental models with fracture ...

Geofluids, 2021 In this study, we present a hybrid model coupled with two-set nodes Green element method (GEM) and embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM) for capturing the effect of transient flow in inhomogeneous fractured porous media.

Flow in Porous Media with Fractures of Varying Aperture
SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, 2023 We study single-phase flow in a fractured porous medium at a macroscopic scale that allows to model fractures individually. The flow is governed by Darcy's law in both fractures and porous matrix. We derive a new mixed-dimensional model, where fractures are represented by $(n-1)$-dimensional interfaces between $n$-dimensional subdomains for $n\ge 2 ...

Robust Discretization of Flow in Fractured Porous Media [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, 2018 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. Our formulation is novel in that it employs the normal fluxes as the mortar variable within the mixed finite element ...

Thermally activated fracture of porous media
The European Physical Journal B, 2011 The lifetime of a porous media, submitted to a constant subcritical stress, is studied by means of a numerical model. This model is based on a spring network where the porosity is represented by missing springs. The dynamics is produced adding thermal fluctuations in spring forces.
