TL;DR: In this article, a fully coupled thermal-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) finite element model is presented for fractured geothermal reservoirs, where fractures are modelled as surface discontinuities within a three-dimensional matrix.

TL;DR: In this paper, a three-phase hydro-mechanical model for hydraulic fracturing is proposed, where porous solid, fracturing fluid and host fluid are coupled through a so-called leak-off mass transfer term.

TL;DR: In this paper, a fully coupled three-dimensional finite-element model for hydraulic fractures in permeable rocks is presented, and used to investigate the ranges of applicability of the classical analytical solutions that are known to be valid in limiting cases.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of thermoelastic interactions between multiple parallel fractures on energy production from a multiple-fracture enhanced geothermal system and showed that the matrix deformation significantly increases the interactions between the two adjacent fractures.

TL;DR: In this article, a fully coupled three-dimensional finite-element model for hydraulic fracturing in permeable rocks is utilised to investigate the interaction between multiple simultaneous and sequential hydraulic fractures, which are modelled as surface discontinuities within a 3D matrix simultaneously accounts for laminar flow within the fracture, Darcy flow within a rock matrix, poroelastic deformation of the rock, and the propagation of fractures using a linear elastic fracture mechanics framework.
