We present a new model for two phase Darcy flows in fractured media, in which fractures are modelled as submanifolds of codimension one with respect to the surrounding domain (matrix). Fractures can act as drains or as barriers, since pressure discontinuities at the matrix-fracture interfaces are permitted. Additionally, a layer of damaged rock...

We present a complete numerical analysis for a general discretization of a coupled flowmechanics model in fractured porous media, considering single-phase flows and including frictionless contact at matrix-fracture interfaces, as well as nonlinear poromechanical coupling. Fractures are described as planar surfaces, yielding the so-called...

In this study, we explore mixed-dimensional Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) models in fractured porous media accounting for Coulomb frictional contact at matrix fracture interfaces. The simulation of such models plays an important role in many applications such as hydraulic stimulation in deep geothermal systems and assessing induced seismic...

We address the discretization of two-phase Darcy flows in a fractured and deformable porous medium, including frictional contact between the matrix--fracture interfaces. Fractures are described as a network of planar surfaces leading to the so-called mixed- or hybrid-dimensional models. Small displacements and a linear elastic behavior are...

We consider a two-phase Darcy flow in a fractured porous medium consisting in a matrix flow coupled with a tangential flow in the fractures, described as a network of planar surfaces. This flow model is also coupled with the mechanical deformation of the matrix assuming that the fractures are open and filled by the fluids, as well as small...

The objective of this article is to address the discretisation of fractured/faulted poromechanical models using 3D polyhedral meshes in order to cope with the geometrical complexity of faulted geological models. A polytopal scheme is proposed for contact-mechanics, based on a mixed formulation combining a fully discrete space and suitable...

We consider a two-phase Darcy flow in a fractured and deformable porous medium for which the fractures are described as a network of planar surfaces leading to so-called hybrid-dimensional models. The fractures are assumed open and filled by the fluids and small deformations with a linear elastic constitutive law are considered in the matrix....
