The numerical modelling working group aims at gathering the actors of the numerical models as well as the tools of validation of the models, the latter being also analog models.
Achievements
The different axes programmed in the activity of the WG9:
- Analogical models (J. Schmittbuhl)
- Experimental validation tools (V. Tinard, J. Schmittbuhl, J. Lin, P. Pfeifer)
- Digital tools (J. Schmittbuhl, V. Magnenet, C. Fond)
- Analytical models, differential geometry, Ritz methods (V. Magnenet)
- 3D numerical modeling of fluid injection in faults, numerical modeling of fault sealing (J. Schmittbulh, Q. Deng, D. Javani, G. Blöcher, M. Cacace)
- FE modeling of wave propagation for the study of acousto-elastical effects in the monitoring of deep geothermal reservoirs. CODA WAVES INTERFEROMETRY (CWI) (J. Azzola, D. Zigone, O. Lengliné, F. Masson, V. Magnenet)
- Abiotic hydrogen generation from biotite-rich granite: A case study of the Soultz-sous-Forêts geothermal site, France (J. Schmittbuhl, B. Fritz)
