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 کاملA Mortar BDD method for solving flow in stochastic discrete fracture networks
In geological media, the large variety and complex configurations of fractured networks make it difficult to describe them precisely. A relevant approach is to model them as Discrete Fracture Networks (DFN)[10, 19], with statistical properties in agreement with in situ experiments [15, 13, 14]. A DFN is a 3D domain made of 2D fractures intersecting each other. Steady state flow in DFN is consid...
متن کاملA Generalized Mixed Hybrid Mortar Method for Solving Flow in Stochastic Discrete Fracture Networks
The simulation of flow in fractured media requires handling both a large number of fractures and a complex interconnecting network of these fractures. Networks considered in this paper are three-dimensional domains made up of two-dimensional fractures intersecting each other and randomly generated. Due to the stochastic generation of fractures, intersections can be highly intricate. The numeric...
متن کاملFlow simulation in 3D Discrete Fracture Networks
Natural fractured media are characterized by their diversity of structures and organization. Numerous studies in the past decades have evidenced the existence of characteristic structures at multiple scales [1]. At fracture scale, the aperture distribution is widely correlated and heterogeneous. Fractures themselves have widely varying sizes with no obvious dominating or characteristic scale. A...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Method for Flow Simulation in Three-Dimensional Heterogeneous Discrete Fracture Networks
Natural fractured media are highly unpredictable because of existing complex structures at the fracture and at the network levels. Fractures are by themselves heterogeneous objects of broadly distributed sizes, shapes and orientations that are interconnected in large correlated networks. With little field data and evidence, numerical modeling can provide important information on the underground...
