amykrice Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I am interested in dual porosity (or dual permeability) flow between two porous media. Using MINC, I can define the material properties of the "fractured" media to be whatever I want, even lower permeability than the matrix. This leads to me think that the "fractured" media is not necessarily composed fractures, but can be any media. Is this correct? I only see MINC used for fracture flow in the literature, so I get the impression I'm in error. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amykrice Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Also, how do I invoke the "proximity function" to allow randomly spaced and randomly oriented fractures (i.e., not only right angles)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfredo Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 MINC can be used to simulate nested media with different properties, not necessarily only fractures surrounding matrix blocks. An example of that is the use of MINC described by Falta R.W. (2000). Numerical modeling of kinetic interphase mass transfer during air sparging. Water Resources Research, 36, 12, p. 3391-3400.
