Simulation of injection induced fracture mechanics with runscripts

This code implements examples of the published paper:

H Dang-Trung, I Berre, E Keilegavlen. Two-level simulation of injection-induced fracture slip and wing-crack propagation in poroelastic media. International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences 160, 105248

This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No 101002507)

Highlights:

1. Multiscale simulation of fracture slip and propagation caused by fluid injection in poroelastic, fractured media.
2. Quasi-static micro-scale simulations of fracture propagation combined with macro-scale simulation of flow and deformation of fractured poroelastic media.
3. Open-source 2D implementation, including local adaptive remeshing on the micro and macroscale.
4. Control volume methods for macro-scale Poroelasticity and contact mechanics combined with finite-element simulation of fracture propagation.

To run the examples contained in this repository a working version of PorePy (Version 1.3.0) must be installed on the computer. The PorePy install requires installations of further packages, see Install instructions in the PorePy repository.
