We use the nodal discontinuous Galerkin method with a Lax-Friedrich flux to model the wave propagation in transversely isotropic and poroelastic media. The effect of dissipation due to global fluid flow causes a stiff relaxation term, which is incorporated ...

Reservoir stimulation’s effect on depletion-induced seismicity

Lyesse Laloui, Barnaby Padraig Fryer, Gunter Siddiqi

Depletion-induced seismicity can pose a problem in some fluid-producing subsurface reservoirs, in some cases requiring production rate control in order to limit the seismicity. This study investigates the use of reservoir stimulation to reduce the depletio ...

Granular geophysical flows are composed by particles of different sizes that segregate under the action of gravity and shear-induced dilatancy. Size segregation is the physical process by which small particle percolate through gaps left by the relative mov ...

Anisotropic behaviour of Opalinus Clay through consolidated and drained triaxial testing in saturated conditions

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Valentina Favero

This paper investigates the anisotropic hydro-mechanical behaviour of Opalinus Clay shale, the host material currently being considered for the construction of a nuclear waste repository in Switzerland. Consolidated and drained triaxial tests on Opalinus C ...

The objective is to examine the influence of pore water on dynamic rupture processes in the context of deep geothermal reservoirs. We conducted stick slip experiments on thermally-treated, saw-cut westerly granite samples under triaxial . The samples were ...

Avalanches in dry and saturated disordered media at fracture in shear and mixed mode scenarios

Jean-François Molinari, Enrico Milanese, Okan Yilmaz

We investigate shear and mixed mode fracture scenarios in inhomogeneous dry and fully saturated porous media with a 2D central force lattice model. For the fully saturated case we adopt the extended Biot's theory. The bars of the lattice break only under t ...

A discontinuous Galerkin reduced basis numerical homogenization method for fluid flow in porous media

Assyr Abdulle, Ondrej Budác

We present a new conservative multiscale method for Stokes flow in heterogeneous porous media. The method couples a discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DG-FEM) at the macroscopic scale for the solution of an effective Darcy equation with a Stokes ...

Shear strength of a compacted scaly clay in variable saturation conditions

Alessio Ferrari

Scaly clays are stiff and highly fissured clays often used as construction materials. This paper presents the results of triaxial compression tests carried out on saturated and unsaturated samples of a compacted scaly clay. Complementary investigation on t ...
