colP3D: a MATLAB code for simulating a Pseudo-3D Hydraulic Fracture with Equilibrium Height Growth across Stress Barriers Peirce, Anthony; Detournay, Emmanuel; Adachi, Jose

Description

This MATLAB computer code implements a fourth order collocation scheme to solve the P3D nonlinear diffusion model for a hydraulic fracture propagating between two symmetric stress barriers. The model assumes equilibrium height growth that is controlled by the local fracture toughness and includes the effect of fluid leak-off into the surrounding rock.
