Description
Summary:In this work, we introduce a theoretical foundation of the stability analysis of the mixed finite element solution to the problem of shale-gas transport in fractured porous media with geomechanical effects. The differential system was solved numerically by the Mixed Finite Element Method (MFEM). The results include seven lemmas and a theorem with rigorous mathematical proofs. The stability analysis presents the boundedness condition of the MFE solution.
