Fully coupled hydraulic fracture simulation using the improved element partition method

Abstract: Summary The improved element partition method (IEPM) is a newly developed fracture simulation approach. IEPM allows a fracture to run across an element without introducing extra degrees of freedom. It can also simulate any number of fractures in a prescribed mesh without remeshing. In this study, the IEPM is extended to hydraulic fracture simulation. First, the seepage and volumetric storage matrix of a cracked element are derived using virtual nodes (the intersection points of a crack with element edges). Sub… Show more

“…In a variety of applications, it is useful to model the hydromechanical behavior of porous media infiltrated by one or more fluids-e.g. in geotechnical engineering [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], hydrocarbon recovery [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], and geologic carbon storage [28][29][30]. Precise models should account for the tight interaction between solid deformation and fluid flow.…”
