Proximity functions for modeling fluid and heat flow in reservoirs with stochastic fracture distributions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7369561

After a brief review of the multiple interacting continua method, the concept of a proximity function is introduced as the central geometrical quantity which defines the matrix-fracture interaction. Subsequently, proximity functions are considered for regular and irregular fracture distributions, using Monte Carlo integration techniques. (MHR)
