Article
To investigate the temperature influence on the cavern capacity, a numerical model was developed in order to simulate the thermo-mechanical behaviour of salt caverns during cyclic hydrogen storage. The model ...

Chapter
This book gave an introduction into the thermo-mechanical modelling of rock salt in general, and of gas storage in salt caverns in particular. There are many topics that were not discussed here but that are ve...
Chapter
The rising energy demand of the growing world population is a significant cause for environmental risks associated with harmful emissions, hazardous waste, destructive land use, etc. This creates a pressing ne...
Chapter
Salt caverns are artificial cavities in salt formations, which are usually used for long-term storage of hydrocarbons such as black oil or natural gas. At least two facilities, located in MacIntosh, USA (Power...
Chapter
The input files of all subsequent examples can be found on the OGS website https://docs.opengeosys.org/books. In the sequel, we will describe selected input files and keywords relevant to the specific examples. M...
Chapter
Rock salt can undergo large inelastic deformations over extended periods of time. Many analyses, however, refer to time intervals and mechanical loads that cause deformations for which the small-strain assumpt...

Chapter
Welcome to the OGS HIGRADE Tutorials on Computational Energy Systems. The first tutorial will introduce the reader to the field of modeling geothermal energy systems. In the beginning chapter we will introduce...
Chapter
There are many alternative methods to solve initial-boundary-value problems arising from flow and transport processes in subsurface systems. In general these methods can be classified into analytical and numer...
Chapter
This section is an appetizer to continue working with the OGS tutorials—after a rather theoretical introduction. We show some of the OGS applications in advanced geothermal reservoir modeling. You also may loo...
Chapter
In this chapter we briefly glance at basic concepts of porous medium theory (Sect. 2.1.1) and thermal processes of multiphase media (Sect. 2.1.2). We will study the mathematical description of thermal processe...
Chapter
This section presents a set of closed form solutions of 3D problems on shear and torsion. The associated simulation exercises have been checked by OGS; they may serve as verification tests.
Chapter
After the theory lectures touching aspects of continuum mechanics of porous media, thermodynamics and an introduction of numerical methods, now we conduct five exercises on heat transport simulation using OGS—...
Article
In past decades, high performance computing has became a valuable tool in many fields of environmental science and technology to utilize computational power for better characterization of the complexity of env...
Chapter
This section introduces benchmarks to verify the implementation of a pressure boundary condition for mechanical processes.
Chapter
A holistic understanding of the physicochemical processes induced by CO2 injection and storage in a reservoir is based on a geoscientific characterisation of the overall geological system consisting of reservoir ...
Article
Three commonly used thermal equations of state for carbon dioxide, as well as the ideal gas law, have been compared against a large number of measurement data taken from the literature. Complex equations of st...
Article
The idea of this paper is twofold. On one hand, we propose a general systematic for benchmarking of CO2 modelling. On the other hand, we integrate material from the CLEAN project into this framework to demonstrat...
Chapter
In the first benchmark chapter we consider heat transport in a porous medium described by the heat balance equation (2.78).
