Numerical comparison of the equivalent continuum, non-homogeneous and dual porosity models for flow and transport in fractured porous media

In this research the boundary element dual reciprocity method-multi domain scheme (BE DRM-MD) has been used and its implementation has been described. This numerical scheme has been used for the first time to solve a dual-porosity model. The scheme showed satisfactory accuracy and high flexibility in preparation of the discrete fracture/non-homogeneous meshes.
