Hydro-mechanical interaction effects and channelling in three-dimensional fracture networks undergoing growth and nucleation
The flow properties of geomechanically generated discrete fracture networks are examined in the context of channelling. Fracture networks are generated by growing fractures in tension, modelling the low permeability rock as a linear elastic material. Fractures are modelled as discrete surfaces which...
