We present a discussion of the state-of-the-art on the use of discrete fracture networks
(DFNs) for modelling geometrical characteristics, geomechanical evolution and …

Abstract Development of numerical methods for hydraulic fracture simulation has
accelerated in the past two decades. Recent advances in hydraulic fracture modeling and …

This paper presents a hybrid modeling approach for simulating hydraulic fracture
propagation in saturated porous media: ordinary state-based peridynamics is used to …

A fully coupled 3D hydro-mechanical model with real porous seepage is presented for
simulating hydraulic fracturing. In this model, fluid flow in a fracture is expressed by 2D …

A 3D fully coupled hydromechanical model for the simulation of fluid-driven fracture
propagation through poroelastic saturated media is presented and compared to several …

An extended ordinary state-based peridynamic model and numerical approach were
proposed for modelling fluid–solid interaction and hydraulic fracturing. The deformation and …

In laminated, anisotropic unconventional rocks (ultra-tight shale, tight gas, coal seam, and so
forth), the true hydraulic-fracturing mode is a complex, mixed-mode process. The fracture …

Dilatancy controlled gas flow is characterized by a series of gas pressure-induced dilatant
pathways in which the pathway aperture is a function of the effective stress within the solid …

In this paper, a numerical method is proposed to simulate multi-scale fracture propagation
driven by fluid injection in transversely isotropic porous media. Intrinsic anisotropy is …

This study presents a methodology to integrate two simulation codes, ie, cohesive element-
based numerical manifold method (Co-NMM) and unified pipe network method (UPM), for …
