A new set of boundary conditions were implemented in Irazu version 6.1 to simulate the fluid-pressurization of a growing network of fractures that are connected to an initial, user-defined cavity (e.g., borehole). The motivation for the implementation of this type of boundary condition is to simulate the dynamic propagation of high-pressure compressible fluids into fractures … Read more
