A new conforming mesh generator for three-dimensional discrete fracture networks
Nowadays, numerical modelings play a key role in analyzing hydraulic problems in fractured rock media. The discrete fracture network model is one of the most used numerical models to simulate the geometrical structure of a rock-mass. In such media, discontinuities are considered as discrete paths for fluid flow through the rock-mass while its matrix is assumed impermeable. There are two main pa...
متن کاملInfluence of fracture scale heterogeneity on the flow properties of three-dimensional discrete fracture networks (DFN)
[1] While permeability scaling of fractured media has been so far studied independently at the fractureand networkscales, we propose a numerical analysis of the combined effect of fracture-scale heterogeneities and the network-scale topology. The analysis is based on 2 10 discrete fracture network (DFNs) simulations performed with highly robust numerical methods. Fracture local apertures are di...
متن کاملAnomalous transport on regular fracture networks: Impact of conductivity heterogeneity and mixing at fracture intersections.
We investigate transport on regular fracture networks that are characterized by heterogeneity in hydraulic conductivity. We discuss the impact of conductivity heterogeneity and mixing within fracture intersections on particle spreading. We show the emergence of non-Fickian transport due to the interplay between the network conductivity heterogeneity and the degree of mixing at nodes. Specifical...
متن کاملNew Concept Discrete Fracture Network Model Simulator, GeoFlow, and Three Dimensional Channeling Flow in Fracture Network
Discrete fracture network (DFN) model simulations, where a fracture network can have a natural heterogeneity, is one of the most effective approaches in fluid flow analyses for naturally fractured and enhanced geothermal reservoirs. In the DFN model simulations, fractures are modeled by a pair of parallel smooth plates although real fractures have rough surfaces. Numerous field and laboratory o...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Flow in Three-dimensional Discrete Fracture Networks
The normal fractured mediums are strongly unforeseeable because of the existing complex structures on the scale of the fracture and the scale of the network. Numerical modeling can provide significant information on underground phenomena of flow. However the structure of network is difficult for generating a grid mesh and has like consequence of the very great fields to simulate. In the works [...
