Coupled hydro-thermo-mechanical modeling of hydraulic fracturing in quasi-brittle rocks using BPM-DEM
This paper presents an improved understanding of coupled hydro-thermo-mechanical (HTM) hydraulic fracturing of quasi-brittle rock using the bonded particle model (BPM) within the discrete element method (DEM). BPM has been recently extended by the authors to account for coupled convective–conductive...
