The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, particularly hydrogen, has
emerged as a central strategy for decarbonization and the pursuit of net-zero carbon …

Motivated by the successful implementation of the phase-field method (PFM) to simulate
complicated fracture patterns at moderate computational costs in solid materials, many …

To enhance the computational efficiency of fluid–solid coupling in peridynamics (PD), a
hybrid modeling approach based on the classical Biot theory is proposed for simulating …

Magma transport in brittle rock occurs by diking. Understanding the dynamics of diking and
its observable consequences is essential to deciphering magma propagation in volcanic …

Hydraulic fracturing is widely accepted and applied to improve the gas recovery in
unconventional reservoirs. Unconventional reservoirs to be addressed here are with very …

Hydraulic fracturing is widely used in the exploitation of unconventional gas (such as shale
gas). Thus, the study of hydraulic fracturing is of particular importance for petroleum industry …

Continuum porous media theories, extended by a diffusive phase-field modeling (PFM)
approach, introduce a convenient and efficient tool to the simulation of hydraulic fracture in …

The need for renewable energy is increasing as the energy demand is surging day by day.
Industrial heaters can be operated using solar thermal heaters which can be used as …

A fully coupled 3D hydro-mechanical model with real porous seepage is presented for
simulating hydraulic fracturing. In this model, fluid flow in a fracture is expressed by 2D …
