The transient simulation of a porous rock block has been carried out. Specific storage and Darcy’s constants have been used as input parameters to investigate the material's behavior. Physically, the Darcy’s constant and the storability are used to indicate the permeability in this simulation. Hence, the transient porous analysis was selected in this model using LISA FE software. This model describes the simulation of the fluid movement (velocity potential) using the injection of the fluid in a central hole of a block. In addition, the production well hole was simulated. Dramatically, the injection of fluid will produce the fracture surface. Hence, the flow behavior of a fractured surface was investigated in porous rock. Then the nature of the cracking surface and direction can be estimated using the flow map. © 2023 The Authors. Published by ELSEVIER B.V.

Introduction The concept of increasing the flow velocity in relation to the permeability has been taken into account for the extraction of the heat from the rocks. The enhancements of flow into porous media by increasing the cracking can be explained using the FE simulation. 1.
