To enhance the computational efficiency of fluid–solid coupling in peridynamics (PD), a
hybrid modeling approach based on the classical Biot theory is proposed for simulating …

High in-situ stress generally results in difficulties in achieving crack interconnection in
presplit blasting, which can further arouse challenges related to construction cost and …

Horizontal well-staged fracturing is a key technology for efficient shale gas production.
However, stress shadows between clusters make it difficult to synchronize the initiation and …

A better understanding of crack growth and interaction in rock is of great significance to
investigate the mechanical properties of rock at a macroscopic scale. In the present paper …

We present a multi-resolution approach for constructing model-based simulations of
hydraulic fracturing, wherein flow through porous media is coupled with fluid-driven fracture …

Multiple clusters of fracturing within one stage have been widely used in the unconventional
reservoir production. However, the non-uniform fracture propagation under multiple clusters …

Intentional creation and propagation of fractures driven by fluid under high pressure have
several applications in oil and gas exploration, geological mining, disposal of toxic waste …

To overcome the difficulty of predicting the initiation and conditions of three-dimensional
(3D) cracks, we proposed a novel 3D-generalized maximum tangential strain (3D-GMTSN) …

An efficient computational framework to model the growth of intersecting height-contained
hydraulic fractures is proposed. The fracture in solids is modeled by the classical theory of …

The development of subsurface hydrocarbon reservoirs is highly dependent on hydraulic
