Experimental characterization of damage during geothermal production of hot dry rocks: Comprehensive effects of the damage-elastic deformation on conductivity evolution

The development of hot dry rocks (HDRs) is of great significance to adjusting energy structure, alleviating energy shortage, reducing pollution, etc. Low-permeability granite is the predominant rock type in deep HDRs, making fractures the primary pathways for fluid circulation and heat extraction. The production of HDRs is significantly...

Ocean Bottom Deformation Due To Present-Day Mass Redistribution and Its Impact on Sea Level Observations

Present-day mass redistribution increases the total ocean mass and, on average, causes the ocean bottom to subside elastically. Therefore, barystatic sea level rise is larger than the resulting global mean geocentric sea level rise, observed by satellite altimetry and GPS-corrected tide gauges. We use realistic estimates of mass...

Mathematical modeling of particle nucleation and growth in metallic alloys

The nucleation and growth of particles in metallic alloys has been studied thoroughly, but the effect of elastic deformation on this process remains unsolved. This work will attempt to incorporate the effect of elastic deformation in a previously proposed model for the nucleation and growth of precipitates. We adapt the KWN-models by Myhr and...
