Abstract

The work presented here is novel in the application of the image-to-image translation concept for scaling-up highly heterogeneous aperture distributions of fractures in a porous medium. We show that this framework can not only parameterize complex input fields, but more importantly realistic inputs based in fractal distributions. The heterogeneous aperture distributions are replaced by the upscaled tensors and the requirement of locally fine grids is removed thus reducing the computational cost. The model provides sufficient accuracy for capturing the anisotropy of the fracture with a speed-up of at-least 800-folds for highly heterogeneous aperture.
