History & Application of Voronoi Grid ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
VORONOI AND DELAUNAY TRIANGULATION For a set S of points in the Euclidean plane, the unique triangulation DT(S) of S such that no point in S is inside the circumcircle of any triangle in DT(S).  The Voronoi grid is formed by the perpendicular-bisectors of the edges of the Delaunay triangles. Circumcircle: a unique circleย that passes through each of the triangles three vertices Delaunay Edges Voronoi Edges

MODELING DFN (Fracture Gridding) Geometrical domain Computational domain matrix No Flow  connection w matrix matrix Flow  connection (Line = fracture) Voronoi edge w = fracture width Flow Connection Additional Nodes for Fracture
APERTURE DISTRIBUTION AND VOLUME CORRECTION The bulk volume of fracture segments can be computed based on given fracture apertures.  The bulk volume of the matrix block adjoining with the fracture should be corrected due to the volume taken by the fractures Aperture distribution A  B  C  Aโ€™  Bโ€™  Cโ€™ D  E  F  Dโ€™  Eโ€™  Fโ€™ Geometrical  domain  Computational domain
