Simulation of Hydraulic Fracture Propagation in Fractured Coal Seams with Continuum-discontinuum Elements
Creating new fracture networks in coal seams with natural fractures through hydraulic fracturing techniques is an effective method for exploiting coal-bed methane. In this paper, a continuum-discontinuum element method (CDEM) is developed for simulating and assessing hydraulic fracture propagation i...
