This volume collects state-of-the-art contributions on the numerical simulation of fractured porous media, focusing on flow and geomechanics. First appearing in issues of the International Journal on Geomathematics, these articles are now conveniently packaged in one volume. Of particular interest to readers will be the potential applications of modern numerical methods to the problem of processes in fractured porous media. This book is ideal for computational scientists and numerical analysts interested in recent developments of numerical discretization techniques for underground flow and geomechanics. Engineers and geologists studying modern simulation techniques will also find this a valuable resource.
