“…In addition, the fully coupled scheme requires enormous software development efforts and large computational costs (Kim et al, 2013) whereas the iterative coupling scheme combines the conventional reservoir geomechanics and fluid flow simulators through a data exchange interface (Chin et al, 2002). Despite several research efforts (Ashworth and Doster, 2019;Martin et al, 2017;Weishaupt et al, 2019), coupled geomechanics and multiphase flow is still a challenging issue related to mathematical, numerical models and discretization schemes to capture the hydrodynamic behaviours, such as fracture deformation and fluid flow interaction at fracture matrix interface in naturally fractured reservoirs.…”
