Abstract

The article presents a mathematical model of the inflow to the fracture on PEBI grids. In the proposed approach, the fracture is represented as a set of faces, where each face has its own properties (permeability, width, cross-sectional area). A well corresponds to a node from which a fracture or several fractures emanate at specified angles. The boundary condition at the node is a constant pressure or a constant flow of liquid. Flows from the cells to the faces correspond to flows from the matrix to the fracture, additional flows are recorded in the fracture itself through the faces to the well, taking into account its conductivity.
