v7.31.150 WTNV150 — Flow in an interface junction within a porous mass: use of the XFEM method

Summary:

It is a flow test in two cohesive hydraulic XFEM interfaces, the second being connected to the first. The opening of the cohesive zone under the action of the injection of a fluid and the development of a hydraulic fracture are checked. This test includes only one two-dimensional modeling.
