ABSTRACT: Hydraulic fracturing is a technique to stimulate gas and oil-bearing rock layers through the
creation of large cracks in the reservoir by injection of fluid from a borehole. The particle flow code (PFC)
and the new lattice based HF simulator are two coupled fluid-mechanical codes capable of modeling fracture
initiation and propagation, including slip and opening along joints in a pre-existing discrete fracture network
(DFN). A new eff ...
