Case01 Ubiquitous Upscaled Fracture (UUF)

 

In the reference (discrete) model, the fractures are inserted as discrete surfaces into the matrix medium, which assumes isotropic permeability. In this example, the influence of these fractures on the flow field is then accounted for by including the effect of the fracture permeability in an upscaled homogenised transversely isotropic matrix permeability. Note that the homogenised model inherits the boundary conditions from the reference model. Five homogenised models with different number of divisions on all sides are simulated.
