Along with horizontal drilling techniques, multi-stage hydraulic fracturing has improved shale
gas production significantly in past decades. In order to understand the mechanism of …

Data science as a flourishing interdisciplinary domain of computer and mathematical
sciences is playing an important role in guiding the porous material research streams. In the …

Gas production from hydrates induced by depressurization is a complex thermal-
hydrodynamic-mechanical–chemical (THMC) coupled process. In this paper, we present a …

Building geometrically realistic representations of geological heterogeneity in reservoir
models is a challenging task that is limited by the inflexibility of pre-defined pillar or …

Over the past few decades, urban floods have been gaining more attention due to their
increase in frequency. To provide reliable flooding predictions in urban areas, various …

The coincidence of two or more extreme events (precipitation and storm surge, for example)
may lead to severe floods in coastal cities. It is important to develop powerful numerical tools …

We present a new, high-order, control-volume-finite-element (CVFE) method for multiphase
porous media flow with discontinuous 1st-order representation for pressure and …

A machine learning approach to accelerate convergence of the nonlinear solver in
multiphase flow problems is presented here. The approach dynamically controls an …

Control volume finite element methods (CVFEMs) have been proposed to simulate flow in
heterogeneous porous media because they are better able to capture complex geometries …

Annular flow with liquid entrainment occurs in a wide variety of two-phase flow system. A
novel control volume finite element method with adaptive unstructured meshes is employed …
