A High-Order Hybrid Approach Integrating Neural Networks and Fast Poisson Solvers for Elliptic Interface Problems by Yiming Ren, Shan Zhao

“…In traditional numerical methods, such as the augmented matched interface and boundary (AMIB) method, these derivative jumps can be reconstructed via additional approximations and are solved together with the unknown solution in an iterative procedure. Nontrivial developments have been carried out in the AMIB method in treating sharply curved interfaces, which, however, may not work for interfaces with geometric singularities. …”

Numerical Modeling on Hydraulic Fracturing in Coal-Rock Mass for Enhancing Gas Drainage by Zhigang Yuan, Yaohua Shao

“…In this work, statistical distributions are firstly introduced to describe heterogeneity of coal-rock mass; a novel simultaneously coupled mathematical model, which can describe the fully coupled process including seepage-damage coupling during hydraulic fracturing process and subsequent gas flow during gas drainage process, is established; its numerical implementation procedure is coded into a Matlab program to calculate the damage variables, and it partly uses COMSOL solver to obtain numerical solutions of governing equations with damage-flow coupling; the mathematical model and its implementation are validated for initial damage pressure and mode of a single solid model without considering flow-damage coupling, as well as fracture initiation pressure and influence of heterogeneity on damage evolution of hydraulic fracturing considering flow-damage coupling; and finally, based on an engineering practice of hydraulic fracturing with two boreholes, the mechanism of how hydraulic fracturing influences gas drainage is investigated, numerical simulation results indicate that coal-rock mass pore-fissure structure has been improved, and there would exist a gas migration channel with characteristics of higher porosity and lower stresses, which demonstrates significant effects and mechanism of hydraulic fracturing on improving coal-rock permeability and enhancing gas drainage. …”
