The growth of fractures within a quasi-brittle rock is computed numerically with the aim of generating high-density geomechanically realistic three-dimensional discrete fracture patterns. Patterns are generated with a finite element-based discrete fracture propagation simulator, in which deformation and flow are numerically computed. These detailed multi-fracture growth simulations study the emergence of patterns as a function of the interaction of fractures and the mechanical effects of pattern evolution on the distribution of apertures in response to in situ stresses.
