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...

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...
