Latest Patents
Shuqing Guo holds a patent for a "Projection-based embedded discrete fracture model using hybrid of two-point flux approximation and mimetic finite difference (TPFA-MFD) method." This invention presents a projection embedded discrete fracture model that integrates a TPFA and MFD hybrid approach, creating a pEDFM framework for various anisotropic two-phase flow situations. It specifies the distribution of extra pressure freedoms on matrix grids for MFD implementation and maintains f-f connections in TPFA through a standard pEDFM workflow. Additionally, it introduces a low-conductivity fracture treatment for MFD and outlines the derivation of numerical flux calculation formulas for effective m-m and m-f connections. The mixed TPFA-MFD design applies to numerical flux estimation across both K-orthogonal and non-K-orthogonal grids, enhancing computational efficiency and facilitating the spatial discretization of continuity equations for matrix and fracture grids under anisotropic permeability conditions. A global equation system is formulated based on the continuity of effective connections, with time discretization via the implicit backward Euler method and pressure and water saturation distributions determined by a Newton-Raphson based nonlinear solver.
