Abstract:Hydro-mechanically induced transient changes in fracture volume elude an analysis of pressure and flow rate transients by conventional diffusion-based models. We used a previously developed fully coupled, inherently non-linear numerical simulation model to demonstrate that harmonic hydraulic excitation of fractures leads to systematic overtones in the response spectrum that can thus be used as a diagnostic criterion for hydro-mechanical interaction. The examination of response spectra, obtained from harmonic t… Show more
