Short summary
Understanding fluid flow through fractured porous rocks is crucial for groundwater and geothermal energy management. Existing tools lack integrated workflows. We developed UpsFrac, an open-source software that integrates fracture modeling and permeability upscaling. It handles complex fracture patterns and rock properties. The software enables uncertainty quantification, helping scientists make accurate and efficient predictions for groundwater protection and renewable energy development.
