Our approach combines ideas from dimensionally reduced discrete fracture models with diffuse phase-field models. The main advantage of this combined approach is that the fracture geometry is always represented explicitly, while the propagation remains geometrically flexible. We prove that our model is thermodynamically consistent. In order to solve our model numerically, we propose a mixed-dimensional discontinuous Galerkin scheme with a computational grid fully conforming to the fractures. As the fracture propagates, the diffuse phase-field acts as indicator to identify new fracture facets to be added to the discrete fracture network. Numerical experiments demonstrate that our approach reproduces classical scenarios for fracturing porous media
