Abstract
The recently introduced phase-field approach for pressurized fractures in a porous medium offers various attractive computational features for numerical simulations of cracks such as joining, branching, and nonplanar propagation in possibly heterogeneous media. In this paper, the pressurized phase-field framework is extended to fluid-filled fractures in which the pressure is computed from a generalized parabolic diffraction problem. Here, the phase-field variable is used as an indicator function to combine reservoir and fracture pressure. The resulting three-field framework (elasticity, phase field, pressure) is a multiscale problem that is based on the Biot equations. The proposed numerical solution algorithm iteratively decouples the equations using a fixed-stress splitting. The framework is substantiated with several numerical benchmark tests in two and three dimensions.
