Novikov, A. (author)Safe and sustainable exploitation of geo-energy resources requires not only a comprehensive evaluation of the performance and economics of the corresponding projects but also the assessments of the associated risks, including the risk of induced seismicity. Indeed, seismic events may arise from the reactivation of natural faults and fractures...doctoral thesis 2024

Zheng, X. (author), Seaid, Mohammed (author), Pisano, F. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Huvaj, Nejan (author), Osman, Ashraf S. (author)A hybrid material point/finite volume method for the numerical simulation of shallow water waves caused by large dynamic deformations in the bathymetry is presented. The proposed model consists of coupling the nonlinear shallow water equations for the water flow and a dynamic elastoplastic system for the seabed deformation. As a constitutive...journal article 2023

Buist, J.F.H. (author), Sanderse, Benjamin (author), Dubinkina, Svetlana (author), Oosterlee, C.W. (author), Henkes, R.A.W.M. (author)The pressure-free two-fluid model (PFTFM) is a recent reformulation of the one-dimensional two-fluid model (TFM) for stratified incompressible flow in ducts (including pipes and channels), in which the pressure is eliminated through intricate use of the volume constraint. The disadvantage of the PFTFM was that the volumetric flow rate had to...journal article 2023

Tripuraneni, S. R. T. (author), Novikov, A. (author), Voskov, D.V. (author)Elliptic differential operators describe a wide range of processes in mechanics relevant to geo-energy applications. Extensively used in reservoir modeling, the Finite Volume Method with TPFA can be consistently applied to discretize only a specific type of application under severe assumptions. In this paper, we introduce a positivity...journal article 2023

Shokrollahzadeh Behbahani, S. (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author), Voskov, D.V. (author), Jansen, J.D. (author)A smoothed embedded finite-volume modeling (sEFVM) method is presented for faulted and fractured heterogeneous poroelastic media. The method casts a fully coupled strategy to treat the coupling between fault slip mechanics, deformation mechanics, and fluid flow equations. This ensures the stability and consistency of the simulation results,...journal article 2022

Tselempis, Romanos (author)The demand for accurate and efficient simulations in order to test the geomechanical effects is a reality for the entire geoscience community. The motivation that arises from that need is the development and the evolution of modelling methods to study these effects. Deep understanding of any problem in fine scale is crucial, especially when it...master thesis 2020

van den Berg, Peter (author)The Dutch/New Zealand based aerospace company Dawn aerospace has developed a 0.5N green bi-propellant propulsion system for use in CubeSat applications called the PM200. This thruster uses gaseous nitrous oxide and propylene as propellants. Currently, the burn time of this thruster is limited to 10 seconds after which cool down of the thruster...master thesis 2020

Zijlema, Marcel (author)We are concerned with the numerical solution of a linear transport problem with nonzero divergence velocity field that originates from the spectral energy balance equation describing the evolution of wind waves and swells in coastal seas. The discretization error of the commonly used first-order upwind finite difference and first-order vertex...journal article 2020

Sokolova, Irina (author), Bastisya, Muhammad Gusti (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author)We propose a multiscale finite volume method (MSFV) for simulation of coupled flow-deformation in heterogeneous porous media under elastic deformation (i.e., poroelastic model). The fine-scale fully resolved system of equations is obtained based on a conservative finite-volume method in which the displacement and pore pressure unknowns are...journal article 2019

Godefrooij, Roos (author)Agragrians in the Dutch Wadden sea region struggles with salinizing farmlands. Acacia Water's project Spaarwater enabled agrarians to measure salt concentrations in the ditches of their land using their mobile phone. All these measurements would ideally be used to evaluate the effects of salinization mitigation measures and to predict water...master thesis 2018

Praditia, Timothy (author), Helmig, Rainer (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author)Efficient heat exploitation strategies from geothermal systems demand for accurate and efficient simulation of coupled flow-heat equations on large-scale heterogeneous fractured formations. While the accuracy depends on honouring high-resolution discrete fractures and rock heterogeneities, specially avoiding excessive upscaled quantities, the...journal article 2018

van der Meer, J.M. (author)If secondary hydrocarbon recovery methods, like water flooding, fail because of the occurrence of viscous fingering one can turn to an enhanced oil recovery method (EOR) like the injection of foam. The generation of foam in a porousmedium can be described by a set of partial differential equations with strongly non-linear functions, which impose...doctoral thesis 2018

van Gemert, Sander (author)When drilling for oil or gas, wells are typically constructed using a conventional or telescopic well design. After a section of the well has been drilled, a steel casing (or liner) is inserted into the hole preventing the collapse of the hole. The next well section has a smaller diameter as it’s casing must pass through the previously installed...master thesis 2017

Rozendaal, Marco (author)In this thesis, it is investigated how the blood flow changes in different physiological situations, using a one-dimensional model, that describes the blood flow in compliant vessels. The one-dimensional model, that describes the blood flow, is derived based on the physical laws of conservation of momentum and conservation of mass. A high...bachelor thesis 2017

Asadollahi, M. (author)When modelling fluid fl ow in subsurface, the impact of solid deformation on fluid fl ow is often oversimplified/neglected in reservoir simulators. It is assumed that solid volume/s-tate of stress is a function of fluid pressure, while the opposite effect is not considered. This assumption is made mainly to reduce computational costs and...master thesis 2017

Arboleda Chavez, C.E. (author)Erosion is a phenomenon present in several industrial processes. In dredging, the jetting of sand in drag heads erodes the sand bed. In construction of offshore infrastructure such as wind turbines, oil and gas production units, marine pipelines, erosion of material near the foundations can put the stability of structures at stake. Furthermore,...master thesis 2017
