Dear Comsol community,
I've been trying to model fracture flow in a porous media and I've encountered a big problem.
I'm trying to simulate flow in a fracture. I've modeled a well pumping at the rate of 1 m^3/s. I suspect the results to be incorrect by looking at the plots.
At first, the hydraulic head plot seems OK, but looking at the velocity plot, we can clearly see that the velocity within the fracture is wrong with my Velocity Cut Line Plot. I also compare the In Flow vs the Out flow. The outflow is 1 m^3/s (which is the correct amount), but the In flow is really low (1e-10 m^3/s)
Is there something I'm doing wrong ? Has anyone encountered the same problems ?
Thanks for the help,
Alain Nguyen
