چکیده
Abstract A new discretization approach is presented for the simulation of flow in complex poro-fractured media described by means Discrete Fracture and Matrix Model. The method based on numerical optimization a properly defined cost-functional allows to solve problem without any constraint mesh generation, thus overcoming one main complexities related efficient effective simulations realistic DFMs.

Parallel Simulations of Underground Flow in Porous and Fractured Media
In this paper, we present a parallel software for solving linear flow equations in two kinds of subsurface media, a 2D highly heterogeneous porous medium and a 3D fracture network. Parallel computing allows us to solve very large linear systems improving the realism of simulations. For these two applications, we perform a scalability analysis of two parallel solvers : HYPRE and PSPASES. HYPRE i...
متن کاملHPC Fluid Flow Simulations in Porous Media Geometries
The simulation of ows in porous media on the microscale level requires a high number of unknowns to resolve the geometry of the ssures in-between the sand grains. For the geometric representation of the sand grains we use fracture network-like structures in 2D and sphere packings in 3D. These geometries are created with an in-house scenario generator, based on a modi ed and extended version of ...
متن کاملFlow Simulations on Cartesian Grids involving Complex Moving Geometries
We describe a method to solve the compressible time-dependent Euler equations using Cartesian grids for domains involving xed or moving geometries. We describe the concept of a mirror ow extrapolation of a given solution over a reeecting wall which may be curved or moving at a xed or varying speed. We use this mirror ow to develop a Cartesian grid method to treat the cells along a reeecting bou...
متن کاملDiffusion in Poro-plastic Media
A model is developed for the flow of a slightly compressible fluid through a saturated inelastic porous medium. The initial-boundary-value problem is a system that consists of the diffusion equation for the fluid coupled to the momentum equation for the porous solid together with a constitutive law which includes a possibly hysteretic relation of elasto-visco-plastic type. The variational form ...
متن کاملFlow diversion around cavities in fractured media
[1] Flow diversion around subsurface cavities in unsaturated fractured media is important to numerous environmental and engineering applications. This paper provides analytical solutions to partial and complete flow diversion around cavities intersected by fractures under steady state conditions. It is focused on a typical trifracture junction located upstream from a cavity surface. Fractures a...
