abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">A physically based numerical approach is presented for modeling multiphase
flow and transport processes in fractured rock. In particular, a general framework
model is discussed for dealing with fracture-matrix interactions, which is applicable
to both continuum and discrete fracture conceptualization. The numerical modeling
approach is based on a general multiple-continuum concept, suitable for modeling
any types of fractured reservoirs, including double-, triple-, and other multiple-continuum
conceptual models. In addition, a new, physically correct numerical scheme
is discussed to calculate multiphase flow between fractures and the matrix, using continuity
of capillary pressure at the fracture-matrix interface. The proposed general modeling
methodology is verified in special cases using analytical solutions and laboratory
experimental data, and demonstrated for its application in modeling flow through
fractured vuggy reservoirs.</p>},
