The distinct element method (DEM) and the extended finite element method (XFEM) application for analysis of interaction between hydraulic and natural fractures
Abstract
Hydraulic fracturing can be considered one of the most effective stimulation methods for fractured network formation. The interaction between induced and natural fractures greatly affects the success of the treatment. In this paper, the extended finite element method (XFEM) and distinct element method (DEM) have been combined to identify the propagation of hydraulic fractures in a porous medium with naturally fractured blocks. DEM is used to...
