An implicitly coupled hydro-geomechanical model for hydraulic fracture simulation with the discontinuous deformation analysis

In this article we present and verify an algorithm for modeling hydraulic fracturing in complex fracture geometries. The method is built upon an existing model which uses the discontinuous deformation analysis for simulation of rock mechanics and upon a finite volume fracture network model for simul...
