Modeling Three-Dimensional Fluid-Driven Propagation of Multiple Fractures using TOUGH-FEMM
TL;DR: In this article, a new numerical simulation tool named TOUGH-FEMM is presented and applied to model three-dimensional (3D) hydraulic fracturing in porous rock, where the fluid flow in both fractures and porous rock is modeled using TOUGH2, which is a well-established code for analysis of multiphase and multi-component fluid flow.

Discrete numerical model for granular assemblies.
Peter Cundall,Otto D. L. Strack +1 more
TL;DR: The distinct element method as mentioned in this paper is a numerical model capable of describing the mechanical behavior of assemblies of discs and spheres and is based on the use of an explicit numerical scheme in which the interaction of the particles is monitored contact by contact and the motion of the objects modelled particle by particle.
