Modeling of Multicomponent Fluid Flow Through Fractured Porous Media Using XFEM, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Khoei, Amir Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
In the present research, a numerical model is developed based on extended finite element method to simulate single phase multicomponent fluid flow through naturally fractured porous media containing explicit fractures. Each of fracture and porous matrix are separate continuous media that interact with each other due to fluid and solute exchange. The governing equations involve continuity equation of fluid phase and mass conservation equation of one component. The extended finite element method allows for explicit and accurate representation of cracks to capture the mass transfer of fluid components between fracture and matrix. Existence of fracture in the domain results in discontinuity of...
