Multiscale Finite Volume Method for Coupled Single-Phase Flow and Heat Equations in Fractured Porous Media: Application to Geothermal Systems

Modern geoscience challenges motivate the development of advanced simulation methods for large-scale geothermal fields, where single- or multi-phase flow is coupled with heat transfer equation in heterogeneous fractured formations. The state-of-the-art multiscale formulation for fractured media (F-AMS; Tene et al., JCP, 2016) develops an...

Multiscale Restriction Smoothed Basis Method for Fractured Porous Media (F-MsRSB)

This thesis proposes a novel multiscale method for simulating fluid flow in fractured porous media. Broadly speaking, this pertains to oil, gas and geothermal energy reservoirs.
