modeling of hydraulic fracture problem in partially saturated porous media using cohesive zone model
in this paper, a finite element model is developed for the fully hydro-mechanical analysis of hydraulic fracturing in partially saturated porous media. the model is derived from the framework of generalized biot theory. the fracture propagation is governed by a cohesive fracture model. the flow within the fracture zone is modeled by the lubrication equation. the displacement of solid phase, and...
متن کاملPartially Saturated Flow in a Poroelastic Medium
The formulation and existence theory is presented for a system modeling diffusion of a slightly compressible fluid through a partially saturated poroelastic medium. Nonlinear effects of density, saturation, porosity and permeability variations with pressure are included, and the seepage surface is determined by a variational inequality on the boundary.
متن کاملA comparison between numerical and analytical modeling of ECAP
Recent developments in nanostructured products draw considerable attention to ultrafine grained materials. These materials are normally manufactured by different severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods. In the present study, analytical models and finite element method (FEM) are used to calculate strain imposed to a specimen that was deformed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). In additio...
متن کاملFlow Focusing in Unsaturated Fracture Networks: A Numerical Investigation
and become focused. The focused unsaturated flow will increase relative permeability of its path, and cause flow A numerical modeling study is presented to investigate flow– further focusing. Focused flow paths exist in the unsatufocusing phenomena in a large-scale fracture network, constructed rated rock of the Yucca Mountain site. For example, using field data collected from the unsaturated z...
متن کاملAnalytical and Numerical Investigation of Fracture Dominated Thermo-Fluid Flow in Geothermal Reservoir
Fluid flow in most of geothermal reservoirs is dominated by fractures and their distribution. In this study, the following process of cold water injection into a fractured geothermal reservoir is considered: the cold water from a injection well advances along the fractures and gradually extract heat from the adjacent rock matrix, and eventually arrives at a production well. Both analytical and ...
