Geomechanical Fracture Modeling of the Suvlu-Kaya Mountain Section, Southwestern Crimea.

Fracture modeling in the section of the Suvlu-Kaya Mountain, southwestern Crimea, has been performed. A three-dimensional geological model of the section has been constructed, geomechanical modeling has been performed, and stress fields have been calculated in the three-dimensional geological structure. The modeling results have been compared with the real measurements of fracturing in the field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
