Discrete fracture network modeling of hydraulic stimulation [electronic resource] : coupling flow and geomechanics / Mark W. McClure, Roland N. Horne.

Describes the development and testing of a model that couples fluid-flow, deformation, friction weakening, and permeability evolution in large, complex two-dimensional discrete fracture networks. The model can be used to explore the behavior of hydraulic stimulation in settings where matrix permeabi...
