H51C:
Discrete Fracture Networks (DFN): Advances in Flow Modeling and Characterization of Fractured Rock I Posters
Session ID#: 8898
Session Description:
The Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) approach is an alternative modeling methodology to equivalent continuum or dual porosity/permeability methods, for modeling flow and transport in fractured rock. The numerical modeling of fluid flow and transport in fractured rock using the DFN conceptualization has a wide range of applications including study of hydrocarbon extraction, aquifer management, geothermal energy extraction, environmental remediation, and disposal of nuclear waste. This session will serve as a stage to discuss topics related to the DFN approach and its applications to fractured porous media. Topics include but are not limited to: computational approaches, single and multiphase regimes, transport modeling, matrix diffusion and retardation, site characterization methods for DFN models, and case histories.
