Open AccessUpscaling of Non-isothermal Reactive Porous Media Flow with Changing Porosity
Motivated by rock–fluid interactions occurring in a geothermal reservoir, we present a two-dimensional pore scale model of a periodic porous medium consisting of void space and grains, with fluid flow through ...

Open AccessHistory matching of dual continuum reservoirs—preserving consistency with the fracture model
Ensemble- and optimization-based parameter estimation is commonly used to calibrate simulation models of fractured reservoirs to measured data. Traditionally, statistical data on small-scale fractures are upsc...

Open AccessHeterogeneity preserving upscaling for heat transport in fractured geothermal reservoirs
In simulation of fluid injection in fractured geothermal reservoirs, the characteristics of the physical processes are severely affected by the local occurence of connected fractures. To resolve these structur...

Open AccessUpscaling of the Coupling of Hydromechanical and Thermal Processes in a Quasi-static Poroelastic Medium
We undertake a formal derivation of a linear poro-thermo-elastic system within the framework of quasi-static deformation. This work is based upon the well-known derivation of the quasi-static poroelastic equat...

Open AccessNumerical Modelling of Convection-Driven Cooling, Deformation and Fracturing of Thermo-Poroelastic Media
Convection-driven cooling in porous media influences thermo-poro-mechanical stresses, thereby causing deformation. These processes are strongly influenced by the presence of fractures, which dominate flow and ...

Open AccessSimulation of Reactive Transport in Fractured Porous Media
Numerical simulations of reactive transport in fractured porous media require the solution of coupled physical and chemical processes that depend on the fractures. Such coupled processes are described by a sys...

Open AccessNumerical Simulations of Viscous Fingering in Fractured Porous Media
The effect of heterogeneity induced by highly permeable fracture networks on viscous miscible fingering in porous media is examined using high-resolution numerical simulations. We consider the planar injection...
