pEDFM (Projection-based Embedded Discrete Fracture Model) on Corner Point Grid for mass transport in fractured heterogeneous porous media

Regular Cartesian grid models provide satisfactory numeric results when a numerical scheme for reservoir flow simulation is applied. However, they cannot recreate complex geological features existing in realistic reservoir models such as faults and irregular reservoir boundaries. Corner point grids can represent these geological characteristics...

A co-rotational floating node finite element for geometric non-linear fracture modelling of composite structures

Fibre-reinforced composites have become increasingly attractive for many engineering applicationsin the last decades. A very interesting aspect of these materials is that their mechanical properties canbe tailored for optimum strength and stiffness by controlling the orientation of the fibers embeddedin the matrix material. Composites are...
