This paper describes a fully coupled finite element/finite volume approach for simulating
field‐scale hydraulically driven fractures in three dimensions, using massively parallel …

In this work a theoretical framework implementing the phase-field approach to fracture is
used to couple the physics of flow through porous media and cracks with the mechanics of …

Numerical simulations become a necessity when experimental approaches cannot cover the
required physical and time scale of interest. One of such area is a simulation of long-term …

The phase field method is a very effective method to simulate arbitrary crack propagation,
branching, convergence and complex crack networks. However, most of the current phase …

The material point method for the analysis of deformable bodies is revisited and originally
upgraded to simulate crack propagation in brittle media. In this setting, phase‐field …

A numerical modeling framework is described that is able to calculate the coupled
processes of fluid flow, geomechanics, and rock failure for application to general …

The phase field method has proven to be an important tool in computational fracture
mechanics in that it does not require complicated crack tracking and is able to predict crack …

The phase field method (PFM) by means of regularization fractures has become a promising
and popular method for complex crack propagation, especially in geotechnical applications …

We propose a phase field model to simulate CO 2 fracturing under an isothermal condition.
We take advantage of the ability of the phase field approach in predicting fracture initiation …

We propose a simplified version of the Shifted Fracture Method (SFM), which relies on an
approximate fracture geometry representation combined with approximate interface …
