A thermo-hydro-mechanical model for energy piles under cyclic thermal loading

This paper introduces a thermo-hydro-mechanical finite element model for energy piles subjected to cyclic thermal loading. We address four particular features pertaining to the physics of energy piles: three-dimensionality, embedded heat exchangers, soil constitutive modeling and pile–soil interface. The model is designed to capture the...

Multidomain-staggered coupling technique for Darcy–Navier Stokes multiphase flow: An application to CO₂ geosequestration

This paper introduces a multidomain-staggered technique for coupling multiphase flow in a porous medium, dominated by the Darcy laminar flow, with multiphase flow in a wellbore, dominated by the Navier Stokes viscous, compressible flow. The Darcy flow in the porous medium is formulated using the averaging theory, and the Navier Stokes flow in...
