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.

A three-dimensional thermo-hydro-mechanical coupled model for enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) embedded with discrete fracture networks

TL;DR: In this paper, a strongly coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) model is proposed to simulate the process of the long-term geothermal production in three-dimensional geothermal reservoirs containing arbitrary discrete fracture networks (DFNs).

Discrete numerical model for granular assemblies.

Peter Cundall, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1979 - 
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.

The Distribution of Stress in the Neighbourhood of a Crack in an Elastic Solid

TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of stress produced in the interior of an elastic solid by the opening of an internal crack under the action of pressure applied to its surface is considered, and the conditions for rupture are deduced.
