Automatic and high-precision microseismic monitoring of progressive failure prior, during, and after tunnel excavation

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Seyyedmaalek Momeni, Christophe Nussbaum

Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring is commonly used to inspect the health of a structure continuously. During fracture processes elastic waves of AE are created and emitted, and sensors can capture these waves. The acquired signals can be processed to track ...

Quantifying the technical geothermal potential from shallow borehole heat exchangers at regional scale

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Alina Ursula Rosa Walch

The extraction of shallow geothermal energy using borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) is a promising approach for decarbonisation of the heating sector. However, a dense deployment of BHEs may lead to thermal interference between neighboring boreholes and ther ...

Fiber Bragg grating-based thermometer for drill bit temperature monitoring

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow

The temperature measurement of a drill bit during an implantology drilling process is proposed by using a fiber Bragg grating fitted inside the drill bit. Due to the rotational nature of the drilling process, a free-space fiber-optic rotary joint is used f ...

Saddle-like, π-conjugated, cyclooctatetrathiophene-based, hole-transporting material for perovskite solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Iwan Zimmermann, Giulia Grancini, Inés Garcia Benito, Javier Urieta Mora

A flexible, saddle-like, π-conjugated skeleton composed of four fused thiophene rings forming a cyclooctatetrathiophene (CoTh) with four triphenylamines (CoTh-TTPA) is presented as a hole-transporting material (HTM) for perovskite solar cells. The new HTM ...

Influence of Ablation on Vacuum-Ultraviolet Radiation in a Plasma Wind Tunnel Flow

Pénélope Leyland

Plasma wind tunnel experiments have been performed simulating a Hayabusa reentry trajectory point at 78.8km altitude with a velocity of 11.7km/s corresponding to a local mass-specific enthalpy of 68.4MJ/kg and a stagnation pressure of 2.44kPa. Ablation-rad ...

Robustness to formation geological heterogeneities of the limited entry technique for multi-stage fracturing of horizontal wells

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

Robustness to formation geological heterogeneities of the limited entry technique for multi-stage fracturing of horizontal wells is investigated. It is necessary to simulate the complete process of initiation and propagation of multiple hydraulic fractures ...

Competition between transverse and axial hydraulic fractures in horizontal well

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

An apparatus and methods for forming a transverse fracture in a subterranean formation surrounding a wellbore including measuring a property along the length of the formation surrounding the wellbore, forming a stress profile of the formation, identifying ...

Dynamic pressure distribution around a fixed confined block impacted by plunging and aerated water jets

Anton Schleiss, Rafael Xavier Meriade Duarte

The scour process created by the impingement of high-velocity water jets on fissured rock is the result of complex physical phenomena. Of great importance are the jet development during the trajectory through the atmosphere, the diffusion process inside th ...

Modeling size effects associated with tensile fracture initiation from a wellbore

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

This paper investigates different tensile fracture initiation criteria on the plane-strain configuration of a defect-free openhole wellbore. It aims to model the effect of the internal pressurization of a wellbore drilled in the direction of one of the pri ...

Monitoring CO2 migration in an injection well: Evidence from MovECBM

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

Carbon dioxide (CO2) geological storage relies on safe, long-term injection of large quantities of CO2 in underground porous rocks. Wells, whether they are the conduit of the pumped fluid or are exposed to CO2 in the storage reservoir (observation and old ...
