Abstract
This chapter introduces the numerical simulation of mixed models for fractured medium. It starts with presenting the rules for dealing with the fractures during the modeling process. It then introduces the concept models that are usually used to describe the flowing characteristic of the fluids in fractured medium. However, the fractured medium is too complicated, so several kinds of mixed models, like coupled model and combined model, are introduced to realize better modeling. Then the categories, characteristics, and realization process of the coupled model are introduced. Also, the categories and realization process of combined model are introduced briefly.
