Creating the conditions for Western European petroculture: The Marshall Plan, the politics of the OEEC, and the transition from coal to oil

Nicolas Christophe Chachereau

In the postwar years, petroleum products pervaded more and more aspects of Western European life. In this article, we study the origins of this pervasive petroculture through the lens of the Marshall Plan/European Recovery Program (ERP), its Refinery Expan ...

Gravitational effects on theemergence,propagation,andarrestofhydraulicfractures

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri, Carlo Peruzzo, Dmitriy Garagash

Hydraulic fractures are driven by an internal fluid pressure exceeding the minimum compres- sive stress, propagating in a direction perpendicular to the latter. This class of tensile fractures has gained interest over the last fifty years due to the develo ...

One- and two-step semi-Lagrangian integrators for arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian-finite element two-phase flow simulations

John Richard Thome, Gustavo Rabello Dos Anjos, Gustavo Charles Peixoto de Oliveira

Semi-Lagrangian (SL) schemes are of utmost relevance to simulate two-phase flows where advection dominates. The combination of SL schemes with the finite element (FE) method and arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) dynamic meshes yields a strong ingredient ...
