Modelling hydraulic fracture propagation in heterogeneous porous media
[article]
2021
Predicting propagation of fluid-driven fractures in heterogeneous porous materials is critical for design of engineering operations to sustainably use underground energy resources. In this paper, a computational model is presented using the phase-field theory and in the context of finite strains kinematics. The framework is built upon the use of variational principle to minimise the energy of the fracturing heterogeneous porous system. The material properties are distributed statistically over
