Stochastic Modeling of Bedload Transport and Bar Development in Shallow Flow: Linear Stability Analysis and Numerical Simulation
Field surveys and laboratory experiments show that bedload transport rates may vary to within one order of magnitude for a given water discharge. One of today's major challenges is to account for these large transport rate fluctuations in computational hyd ...
2023Buoyant Hydraulic Fractures: How they Emerge, Grow, and get Arrested
Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri, Carlo Peruzzo, Dmitriy Garagash
Most anthropogenic applications of hydraulic fracturing treatments are performed in sedimentary basins. In these geological formations, the minimum compressive stress is usually horizontal and increases with depth. As a result, hydraulic fractures grow alo ...
2023Three-dimensional hydraulic fracture propagation in homogeneous and heterogeneous media
Hydraulic fractures are tensile fractures that occur in solid materials due to the natural intrusion or anthropogenic injection of a viscous fluid into a fracture channel. The deliberate creation of hydraulic fractures is part of an industrial technology h ...
EPFL2023Propagation of fluid driven fractures in transversely isotropic material
The propagation of fluid driven fractures is used in a number of industrial applications (well stimulation of unconventional reservoirs, development of deep geothermal systems) but also occurs naturally (magmatic dyke intrusion). While the mechanics of hyd ...
EPFL2020Complex Dynamics in Simple Neural Networks: Understanding Gradient Flow in Phase Retrieval
Florent Gérard Krzakala, Lenka Zdeborová
Despite the widespread use of gradient-based algorithms for optimizing high-dimensional non-convex functions, understanding their ability of finding good minima instead of being trapped in spurious ones remains to a large extent an open problem. Here we fo ...
