Abstract
  The Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is a leading computational approach for studying crack growth in rocks, as it can effectively model complex crack paths and discontinuities without the need for re-meshing. In this context, XFEM is particularly well-suited for simulating the development of hydraulic ...  Read More

Abstract
  Fracture mechanics is a vital component involved in studying the exact behavior of rock materials. Detection and assessment of the behavior of rock joints injected by grout plays an important role in numerical modelling in rock mechanic projects. The importance of mechanisms associated with initiation ...  Read More

Numerical modeling of hydraulic fracturing in carbonate rocks of Bangestan reservoir

A. Akrami; M. Hosseini; H. Sodeifi

Volume 9, Issue 1 , January and February 2018, , Pages 117-126

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2017.5833.1394

Abstract
  Hydraulic fracturing is used in the oil industry in order to increase the index of production and processing in the wells whose efficiencies have been dropped due to a long-term harvest or the rocks around the wells are of low permeability. Since the hydraulic fracturing operation is costly, it is of ...  Read More
