Fluid driven percolation

Problem description

Note, this project file runs only with a modified version of OGS which you can find here.

We simulate two different fluid percolation experiments performed on rock salt samples with a true tri-axial loading system as described in this PDF. The experiments were performed under two different stress configurations as below.

 

Results and evaluation

Simulated crack paths (phase-field) for the two cases are shown below:
