A combined finite element–finite volume framework for phase-field fracture
Sargado, Juan Michael Uy Villanueva; Keilegavlen, Eirik; Berre, Inga; Nordbotten, Jan Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Numerical simulations of brittle fracture using phase-field approaches often employ a discrete approximation framework that applies the same order of interpolation for the displacement and phase-field variables. In particular, ... -
Effective permeability of deformation bands in fault damage zones – Can deformation bands reduce the risk of fault leakage?
Berge, Runar Lie; Gasda, Sarah Eileen; Keilegavlen, Eirik; Sandve, Tor Harald (Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)Faults are major geological structures that can dominate the flow paths in subsurface reservoirs by, e.g., connecting otherwise unconnected layers. In CO2 storage sites where the faults act as the main structural trap, the ... -
Finite volume discretization for poroelastic media with fractures modeled by contact mechanics
Berge, Runar Lie; Berre, Inga; Keilegavlen, Eirik; Nordbotten, Jan Martin; Wohlmuth, Barbara (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)A fractured poroelastic body is considered where the opening of the fractures is governed by a nonpenetration law, whereas slip is described by a Coulomb‐type friction law. This physical model results in a nonlinear ... -
A Finite-Volume-Based Module for Unsaturated Poroelasticity
Varela, Jhabriel; Gasda, Sarah Eileen; Keilegavlen, Eirik; Nordbotten, Jan Martin (Chapter, 2021)In this chapter, we present fv-unsat, a multipoint finite-volume–based solver for unsaturated flow in deformable and nondeformable porous media. The latter is described using the mixed form of Richards’ equation, whereas ... -
Numerical Simulations of Viscous Fingering in Fractured Porous Media
Berge, Runar Lie; Berre, Inga; Keilegavlen, Eirik; Nordbotten, Jan Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The effect of heterogeneity induced by highly permeable fracture networks on viscous miscible fingering in porous media is examined using high-resolution numerical simulations. We consider the planar injection of a less ...
