A reinterpreted discrete fracture model for Darcy–Brinkman flow in fractured porous media and its extension on nonconforming meshes

Key Points

• The study reveals a new approach to understanding darcy-brinkman flow in fractured porous media.
• Key evidence indicates enhanced flow predictions using the reinterpreted discrete fracture model.
• Assessment using mathematical modeling highlights the role of nonconforming meshes in accurate simulations.
• Potential impact includes better predictability of fluid movement in complex geological formations.
