Hybrid-dimensional modeling for fluid flow in heterogeneous porous media using dual fracture-pore model with flux interaction of fracture–cavity network

Developing numerical method of fractured porous media is of paramount importance in geoscience applications. Previous studies have revealed that the discrete fractures and cavities as well as the heterogeneity have considerable influences on hydraulic property of porous media. This work presents a numerical investigation on fluid flow in...

Accurate modeling and simulation of seepage in 3D heterogeneous fractured porous media with complex structures

The past decades have witnessed an increasing interest in numerical simulation for flow in fractured porous media. To date, most studies have focused on 2D or pseudo-3D computational models, where the impact of 3D complex structures on seepage has not been fully addressed. This work presents a method for modeling seepage in 3D heterogeneous...
