Xu, F. (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)In fractured geological formations, as a result of the in-situ stress changes, fractures can propagate or slide. This phenomenon can be efficiently modeled by the extended finite element method (XFEM) when there are only a few fractures present. However, geological reservoirs contain many fractures which can also cross and are densely...journal article 2023
