Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical Modeling of Fractured Deformable Porous Media with Two-phase Fluid Flow using XFEM Technique, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Khoei, Amir Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this study, a fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical model for two-phase fluid flow and heat transport in fractured/fracturing porous media is introduced using the extended finite element method (XFEM) for numerical solution. The subject is important in the environmental and industrial fields such as hydraulic fracturing in petroleum industry, CO2 geo-sequestration, geothermal energy extraction and radioactive waste disposal in unsaturated porous media. In the fractured porous media, there are couplings of traction and heat and mass transfer between the fracture space and the surrounding media. Therefore, consideration of the fracture geometry explicitly in the modeling is important to...
