Nonlinear Viscoelastic Compaction in Sedimentary Basins
Xin-She Yang
In the mathematical modelling of sediment compaction and porous media flow, the rheological behaviour of sediments is typically modelled in terms of a nonlinear relationship betwee…
Density-Driven Compactional Flow in Porous Media
Xin-She Yang
In the mathematical modelling of compactional flow in porous media, the constitutive relation is typically modelled in terms of a nonlinear relationship between effective pressure…
A Mathematical Model for Voigt Poro-Visco-Plastic Deformation
Xin-She Yang
A mathematical model for poro-visco-plastic compaction and pressure solution in porous sediments has been formulated using the Voigt-type rheological constitutive relation as deriv…
A Unified Approach to Mechanical Compaction, Pressure Solution, Mineral Reactions and the Temperature Distribution in Hydrocarbon Basins
Xin-She Yang
In modelling sediment compaction and mineral reactions, the rheological behaviour of sediments is typically considered as poroelastic or purely viscous. In fact, compaction due to…
Pressure Solution in Sedimentary Basins: Effect of Temperature Gradient
Xin-She Yang
Pressure solution is an important process in sedimentary basins, and its behaviour depends mainly on the sediment rheology and temperature distribution. The compaction relation of…
Small-World Networks in Geophysics
Xin-She Yang
Many geophysical processes can be modelled by using interconnected networks. The small-world network model has recently attracted much attention in physics and applied sciences. In…
