PyFrac Releases Notes

Version 1.1.1 (November 2020)

  • Numerics:
    • New front reconstruction scheme such that the reconstructed fracture front is continuous between cells
    • Non-linear solver now using Anderson acceleration
    • Block Toeplitz elasticity matrix (for isotropic elasticity only)
    • Improved tip asymptotics (notably for leak-off regimes)
    • Improved closure/contact algorithm
  • Mesh & Re-meshing:
    • possibility of having non-centered mesh (with respect to the orginin (0,0))
    • elements addition on the fly (in specified directions)
    • coarsening (reducing the number of cells in the whole domain)
  • Visualization:
    • Plots of near-tip asymptotic regimes (k-toughness-red, m-viscosity-blue, m-tilde-leak-off-green)
    • Fluid fluxes & velocities as vectors at cell edges
  • Export to JSON capability
  • Use of the python logging package to log code outputs with different verbosity levels
  • Suite of automatic benchmark & regression tests
  • Additional examples
  • Semi-analytical solution for M-pulse radial HF
  • Updated documentation

Version 1.0 (September 2019)

  • Initial version including:
    • Transverse Isotropic elasticity
    • Carter's leak-off
    • Newtonian fluid
    • Heterogeneous initial in-situ normal stress
    • Piece-wise heterogeneous fracture toughness and leak-off properties
    • Buoyancy
  • remeshing capabilities
