FEM package in Matlab for hydraulic fracturing in transversely isotropic porous media

Primary LanguageMATLAB

FEM package for hydraulic fracturing in transversely isotropic porous media - (Matlab toolbox)

This toolbox has following features

  • Energy based arc length control for mechanical solver
  • Fully coupled fluid flow within matrix and along fracture with mechanical deformation
  • Multiscale fracture propagation by coupling nonlocal damage with ppr cohesive zone model

Detailed description is documented in the following paper:

  • Jin, Wencheng, and Chloé Arson. "Fluid driven transition from damage to fracture in anisotropic porous media - a multiscale XFEM approach." To be published in Acta Geotechnica.
