Numerical Investigation of Hydraulic Fracturing in a Heterogeneous Rock Mass Based on Peridynamics

In this paper, the effect of micro heterogeneity of rocks on hydraulic fracture propagation is studied using a peridynamics-based numerical model. We quantitatively examine the propagation mechanism of a single fracture in heterogeneous media. The influence of in-situ stress and fracturing fluid par...
