Modelling the evolution of natural fracture networks : methods for simulating the nucleation, propagation and interaction of layer-bound fractures

Modelling the evolution of natural fracture networks : methods for simulating the nucleation, propagation and interaction of layer-bound fractures / Michael John Welch, Mikael Lüthje, Simon John Oldfield.

This book presents and describes an innovative method to simulate the growth of natural fractural networks in different geological environments, based on their geological history and fundamental geomechanical principles. The book develops techniques to simulate the growth and interaction of large po...
