Impact of the propagation algorithm on the convergence rate of hydraulic fracturing simulator to reference solutions

One key part of the numerical solution of ﬂuid-driven fracture propagation is the logic adopted to advance the fracture front during one time step. This is typically obtained by satisfying a quasi-static propagation condition. In this contribution, within ...

The role of mass-transport deposits and turbidites in shaping modern lacustrine deepwater channels

Nicolas Le Dantec

Subaquatic canyons are an important pathway for sediment transport into oceanic and lacustrine basins. Understanding the mechanisms governing their geomorphological evolution is a key to predict the sediment distribution patterns through these sediment con ...

The role of the stress regime on microseismicity induced by overpressure and cooling in geologic carbon storage

Victor Vilarrasa Riano

Fluid injection in deep geological formations usually induces microseismicity. In particular, industrial-scale injection of CO2 may induce a large number of microseismic events. Since CO2 is likely to reach the storage formation at a lower temperature than ...

Estimating the effective elastic modulus and specific fracture energy of snowpack layers from field experiments

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Jürg Schweizer, Alec van Herwijnen

Measurements of the mechanical properties of snow are essential for improving our understanding and the prediction of snow failure and hence avalanche release. We performed fracture mechanical experiments in which a crack was initiated by a saw in a weak s ...

Non-linear dynamics of compound sawteeth in tokamaks

Compound sawteeth is studied with the XTOR-2F code. Non-linear full 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations show that the plasma hot core is radially displaced and rotates during the partial crash, but is not fully expelled out of the q = 1 surface. Partial cra ...

A role for HOX13 proteins in the regulatory switch between TADs at the HoxD locus

Denis Duboule, Leonardo Beccari, Anamaria Necsulea, Nicolas Lonfat, Edgardo Rodriguez Carballo, Nayuta Yakushiji

During vertebrate limb development, Hoxd genes are regulated following a bimodal strategy involving two topologically associating domains (TADs) located on either side of the gene cluster. These regulatory landscapes alternatively control different subsets ...

Avalanches in dry and saturated disordered media at fracture

Jean-François Molinari, Enrico Milanese, Okan Yilmaz

This paper analyzes fracturing in inhomogeneous media under dry and fully saturated conditions. We adopt a central force model with continuous damage to study avalanche behavior in a two-dimensional truss lattice undergoing dilation. Multiple fractures can ...

The tip region of a hydraulic fracture driven by a power law fluid

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Fatima-Ezzahra Moukhtari

We investigate the tip region of a hydraulic fracture driven by a power law fluid propagating at a constant velocity V in an impermeable linear elastic medium. We account for the presence of a fluid lag of a priori unknown length at the tip of the fracture ...

Laminar - turbulent transition in the propagation of height contained hydraulic fracture

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Haseeb Zia

High injection rate hydraulic fracturing can have Reynolds number as high as 10000. For such high Reynolds numbers, turbulent flow is likely to occur. In this paper, we investigate the effect of turbulence on the propagation of hight contained hydraulic fr ...

Energy dissipation during delamination in composite materials - An experimental assessment of the cohesive law and the stress-strain field ahead of a crack tip

Luis Pablo Canal Casado

This paper presents detailed experimental information on mode-II delamination development in fibre/epoxy composite materials and provides observations about the process zone in the vicinity of the crack tip. It is shown that the energy dissipated in delami ...
