Paper presented at the 58th U.S. Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium, June 23–26, 2024
Paper Number: ARMA-2024-0552
... of rock heterogeneities at different scales. Among these, the Voronoi structure has been successfully implemented in discontinuum models to replicate the failure process of hard rocks. More recently this method has been effectively applied in 2D continuum models; however, its suitability for simulating...

... of responses. Diverse scenarios are explored, acknowledging variability and heterogeneity. Results reveal nuanced coexistence of intraparticle and interparticle porosity associated with depositional facies. This suggests intraparticle nanoporosity likely enhances permeability by increasing interconnectivity...

... as simple surfaces when considered at their full scale, a detailed view reveals a heterogeneous structure with damage zones and anastomosing fault cores. Consequently, simulations of whole fault systems can achieve reasonable results by modelling the faults as simple surfaces, but where model applications...
