Enhanced Heat Transfer through Density- and Pressure-Driven Flow at Fracture Intersections With Dead-Ends
Lisa Maria Ringel, Yves Méheust, Caroline Darcel +2
Heat transport in fractured media is governed by coupled thermal-hydraulic (TH) processes. This study evaluates TH processes at fracture intersections, focusing on T-intersections…

Effects of Wall Roughness on Coupled Flow and Heat Transport in Fractured Media
Alessandro Lenci, Yves Méheust, Maria Klepikova +2
Heat transfer in fractured media is governed by the interplay between advective transport along rough-walled fractures and conductive transport, both within the fractures and in th…

Stochastic Modeling and Upscaling of Hydrodynamic Transport in Geological Fractures
Alessandro Lenci, Yves Méheust, Yves Méheust +2
Characterizing hydrodynamic transport in fractured rocks is essential for carbon storage and geothermal energy production. Multiscale heterogeneities lead to anomalous solute trans…
