Numerical study of the fluid fracturing mechanism of granite at the mineral grain scale
Hydraulic fracturing is an essential technique for reservoir stimulation in the process of deep energy exploitation. Granite is composed of different rock-forming minerals and exhibits obvious heterogeneity at the mesoscale, which affects the strength and deformation characteristics of rocks and con...
