## Abstract A new discrete‐fracture multiphase flow model developed allows incorporation of fractures in a spatially explicit fashion. It is an alternative to conventional dual‐porosity, dual‐permeability models used most often to model fractured subsurface systems. The model was applied to a water

Various discretization methods exist for the numerical simulation of multiphase flow in porous media. In this paper, two methods are introduced and analyzed -a full-upwind Galerkin method which belongs to the classical finite element methods, and a mixed-hybrid finite element method based on an impl
The aim of this contribution is the development of a finite element formulation tailored to capture strong discontinuities in fluid-saturated porous media. Thereby, strong discontinuities are considered as the final failure mechanism within localization problems. The failure kinematics are governed
