Modelling the variation in the behaviour of pre-fractured rocks subjected to hydraulic fracturing with permeability of the rock matrix using finite-discrete element method

In this study, we present the results of two-dimensional numerical simulations for the effects of rock matrix permeability on the behaviour of hydraulic fractures in intact and pre-fractured rocks. The simulations are performed using the Finite-Discrete Element Method (FDEM). In this method, the def...
