Research on random propagation method of hydraulic fracture based on zero-thickness cohesive element

In order to effectively simulate the process of random propagation of hydraulic fractures in fractured shale reservoirs, a new method of random propagation of hydraulic fractures based on the finite element mesh embedded with zero-thickness cohesive elements is proposed. This new method is based on...
