A Two-Phase Flow Simulation of Discrete-Fractured Media using Mimetic Finite Difference Method (2014, methodology): “[34] introduced a simplified cell-centered FV method for two-phase flow in fractured media by using two-point flux approximation (TPFA).”
Multicomponent fluid flow by discontinuous Galerkin and mixed methods in unfractured and fractured media (2005, background): “second category face difficulties and therefore need special treatments to handle the hybrid spatial approximations [see, e.g., Slough et al., 1999b; Karimi-Fard et al., 2004; Granet et al., 2001].”
Control‐volume method for numerical simulation of two‐phase immiscible flow in two‐ and three‐dimensional discrete‐fractured media (2004, methodology): “The discrete-fracture model has been employed by several authors to develop codes for multiphase flow in fractured porous media [Kim and Deo, 1999, 2000; Bastian et al., 2000; Karimi-Fard and Firoozabadi, 2003; Karimi-Fard et al., 2003; Geiger et al., 2003].”
A reduced model for Darcy’s problem in networks of fractures (2014, background): “The literature on flow in fractured media is rather extensive, we give here just some main references [2, 3, 8, 10] and we mention the applications to reservoir simulations [21, 26, 28].”
