Unexpected fault activation due to underground gas storage in produced reservoirs. Part I: Mathematical model and mechanisms

Andrea Franceschini, Claudia Zoccarato, Selena Baldan +5

Underground gas storage (UGS) is a critical technology for managing seasonal gas consumption peaks, increasingly important in the face of market uncertainties. However, safety conc…

Efficient solvers for hybridized three-field mixed finite element coupled poromechanics

Matteo Frigo, Nicola Castelletto, Massimiliano Ferronato +1

We consider a mixed hybrid finite element formulation for coupled poromechanics. A stabilization strategy based on a macro-element approach is advanced to eliminate the spurious pr…

Ionized gas kinematics of massive elliptical galaxies in CALIFA and in cosmological zoom-in simulations

Jan Florian, Bodo Ziegler, Michaela Hirschmann +5

(Abridged) We present an investigation of kinematical imprints of AGN feedback on the Warm Ionized gas Medium (WIM) of massive early-type galaxies (ETGs). To this end, we take a tw…

The simultaneous formation of cored, tangentially biased, and kinematically decoupled centers in massive early-type galaxies

Antti Rantala, Peter H. Johansson, Thorsten Naab +2

We study the impact of merging supermassive black holes (SMBHs) on the central regions of massive early-type galaxies (ETGs) using a series of merger simulations with varying mass…

The impact of AGN on stellar kinematics and orbits in simulated massive galaxies

Matteo Frigo, Thorsten Naab, Michaela Hirschmann +5

We present a series of 20 cosmological zoom simulations of the formation of massive galaxies with and without a model for AGN feedback. Differences in stellar population and kinema…

The fate of the Antennae galaxies

Natalia Lahén, Peter H. Johansson, Antti Rantala +2

We present a high-resolution smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulation of the Antennae galaxies (NGC 4038/4039) and follow the evolution Gyrs beyond the final coalescence. The…

Dynamical masses and non-homology of massive elliptical galaxies grown by dry mergers

Matteo Frigo, Marc Balcells

We study whether dry merger-driven size growth of massive elliptical galaxies depends on their initial structural concentration, and analyse the validity of the homology hypothesis…
