Crack propagation in a geothermal energy reservoir
We consider the problem of the opening of pre-existing cracks with high pressure fluid in the case where changes in the fluid pressure are balanced predominantly by stresses due to the local crack asperity deformations. A model is proposed for this process using a particular choice of 'crack la...
