“…1. The two media can exchange water mass as the porous matrix holds a large storage capacity and low permeability, while the fracture has high permeability and low storability (Song et al 2019). Based on the above concept, various mathematical formulations representing the fluid flow or hydro-mechanical coupling have been developed by different approaches with different degrees of sophistication.…”

Modelling of fluids in deformable geoformation media has gained great attention in the past decades due to significant applications such as groundwater prediction, shale gas and carbon capture and storage. However, considerable research has been focused on the porous media concept, and dual network (fracture and pores) multiphysics coupled modelling has remained a challenge due to the lack of a systemic theory to bridge the physical deformation of the media (e.g., rocks) and the interaction of water flow in pores and fractures. This paper adopts the non-equilibrium thermodynamics-based approach, the Mixture Coupling Theory, to develop a thermodynamics consistency constitutive model for the fully coupled Hydro-Mechanical behavior in double porosity formation. The energy dispassion due to fluid flow in matrix pore and fracture is given through nonequilibrium thermodynamics, and the relationship between the solid and fluid is linked through Helmholtz free energy. The dynamic evolution of stress, porosity change of the matrix pores and fracture, are derived with respect to mechanical strain, pore pressure, and fracture pressure to account for the flow-deformation interaction. The developed constitutive equations are then solved numerically to show the hydraulic and mechanical behavior of double porosity formation, as well as their sensitivity to parameters.
