The last decade has seen a strong increase of research into flows in fractured porous media,
mainly related to subsurface processes but also in materials science and biological …

Naturally fractured reservoirs have been a source of challenging issues with regard to field
development, well stability, drilling, and enhanced oil recovery, as a connected fracture …

Abstract Development of models and dedicated numerical methods for dynamics in fractured
rocks is an active research field, with research moving towards increasingly advanced …

Flow in fractured porous media occurs in the earth's subsurface, in biological tissues, and in
man-made materials. Fractures have a dominating influence on flow processes, and the last …

Most modeling approaches lie in either of the two categories: physics‐based or data‐driven.
Recently, a third approach which is a combination of these deterministic and statistical …

High-temperature aquifer thermal energy storage (HT-ATES) is a cost-effective and suitable
technology to store large amounts of energy. HT-ATES has been demonstrated to be an …

This work deals with the discretization of single-phase Darcy flows in fractured and
deformable porous media, including frictional contact at the matrix–fracture interfaces …

Accurate modeling of variably saturated flow (VSF) in fractured porous media with the
discrete fracture-matrix (DFM) model is a computationally challenging problem. The …

Various phenomena in the subsurface are characterised by the interplay between deforming
structures such as fractures and coupled thermal, hydraulic and mechanical processes …

We present a comprehensive workflow to simulate single-phase flow and transport in
fractured porous media using the discrete fracture matrix approach. The workflow has three …
