dynamic fluid mesh inside, while fracture propogates

codder · December 3, 2013, 02:44

I am interested in using dynamicTopoFvMesh in order to propagate the fluid domain along with the growth of a hydraulically induced fracture (see pic). The case studies in Sandeep's thesis made me think maybe it's possible.

But I don't hold out much hope, because I'm asking to clarify my interpretation of this thread.

NB: ultimately, the solid domain is intended to be meshed using trigonal cells, in order to avoid parallel or orthogonal-only propagation.

I would be more than overjoyed by weak fluid-structure interaction coupling (icoFsiFoam), and not require anything stronger.

do you find a better way to deal with the water in the crack? I am doing the hydraulic fracture now and maybe we can have some discussion.

Hi xiaoqiang12 -

Sorry for not replying sooner - I got sick and then had to catch up at work. Yes there are some solutions to do this. I am interested to talk, and am in fact part of a OF group at my university with the aim of open-sourcing developed models after publication.

Could you pm me with your corporate/university email to continue discussion? Best, Eric

yeap. My name is GUOQIANG Xue, the third year doctoral student in Glasgow University, Uk. And my email is g.xue.1@research.gla.ac.uk
and facebook is GUOQIANG XUE (glasgow university). Nice to meet you\!
