[Dataset] for “Accurate fluid flow modeling of fractured media using a continuum approach “

This dataset includes the input files of the numerical models used in this manuscript for simulating fractures as well as the executable file of the numerical code (CODE_BRIGHT). There are two main folders pertinent to equivalency of fracture thickness and sensitivity analysis to rock matrix permeability. Each folder contains the input files of the numerical models in subfolders whose names represent a short description of the corresponding model. “Equivalency” folder contains the benchmark model (with real fracture aperture, i.e., 10 μm) and three models with upscaled apertures (1 cm, 10 cm, and 1 m) using equivalent properties to obtain the same result. “Sensitivity analysis” folder includes models with 1 cm upscaled aperture for rock matrix permeability ranging from 10-18 to 10-24 m2. In each folder, there is a file with the name of the folder ended as “_gen.dat” which contains the input data of the model, including material properties, initial and boundary conditions and the time intervals. There is also a file ended as “_gri.dat” that includes the information on the mesh. The file “root.dat” includes the name of the model. To run the simulation, copy and paste Code_Bright executable file, i.e., “Cb_v9_3.exe”, in a folder that contains the input files and execute it.
