A locally conservative mixed finite element framework for coupled hydro-mechanical–chemical processes in heterogeneous porous media

This paper presents a mixed finite element framework for coupled hydro-mechanical–chemical processes in heterogeneous porous media. The framework combines two types of locally conservative discretization schemes: (1) an enriched Galerkin method for reactive flow, and (2) a three-field mixed finite element method for coupled fluid flow and...

Mechanical resonance properties of porous graphene membrane; simulation study and proof of concept experiment

Mechanical resonance properties of porous graphene resonators were investigated by simulation studies. The finite element method was utilized to design the porous graphene membrane pattern and to calculate the mechanical resonance frequency and quality factor. The changes in the resonance frequency and quality factor were systematically...

Flow in porous media with low dimensional fractures by employing enriched Galerkin method

This paper presents the enriched Galerkin discretization for modeling fluid flow in fractured porous media using the mixed-dimensional approach. The proposed method has been tested against published benchmarks. Since fracture and porous media discontinuities can significantly influence single- and multi-phase fluid flow, the heterogeneous and...
