Miscellaneous topics in Coupled Processes
Everyone say they studying coupled processes, but nobody actually has solved this "big" question, particularly fractured media; So do I; Here below are some tentative attempts.
Coupled processes in porous media
-
A hydro-mechanical (HM) model for fluid-saturated poroelastic media, addressing temporal characteristics of consolidation processes, with various permeable conditions, and time-constant periodic loading, uniform loading on the infinite and finite boundaries, see Wang et al. (2023, Computers and Geotechnics).
-
A thermal-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) model for fluid-saturated porous media, analysing poroelastic deformation and dissipation of heat and pore pressure, see Wang et al. (2024, Computers and Geotechnics). This article also provides a detailed resources of rock properties, for isntane, clay, salt rock, granite and marble, based on enriched literature.
-
Another hydro-mechanical model, based on the finite strain theory, for interpreting stress-dependent properties of porous media, see Wang and Zhang (2024, NAG) in Section.
Coupled processes in fractured porous media
-
A shear-flow model for rough rock fractures during shear-seepage processes, considering the effects of shear dilatancy and asperities, three version of this model with different computation approaches for the peak dilatancy angle, see Wang et al. (2024, Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering).
-
Although it may not be directly related to the topic, coupled processes also exist in pure flow and transport phenomena, particularly between fluid flow and mass transport, see Wang and Yin (2023, International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering).
