An energy pile harvests geothermal energy to heat and cool a building by integrating ground heat exchanger (GHX) pipes into the building’s deep foundation, and extracts heat from the ground in the winter to heat buildings and injects heat into the ground during the summer. In areas with ... Read More
Deformation prediction is an important part of the structure stability analysis. However, the deformation of bank protection structure which is affected by many factors, such as structural stiffness, earth pressure and hydrostatic pressure. It contains a complex mechanical process, which ... Read More
Anticipation of meteorological events such as ice forming is a key challenge to optimise the use of antifreeze on airport runways. To obtain a predictive numerical tool of ice forming on the runways, Groupe ADP and SIMTEC developed a COMSOL Multiphysics® model, in which several physical ... Read More
To reveal key features of the thermal pattern at different structural levels of the Norwegian continental shelf and the adjacent mainland, the lithosphere-scale 3D structural models have been used to represent a structure of the sedimentary cover, underlying crystalline crust, and ... Read More
This study presents the simulation of transport phenomena in the Horstberg geothermal system in the North German Basin. The Horstberg geothermal system composed of a subsurface reservoir and a borehole. The borehole was completed in a multilayer sandstone reservoir and an induced ... Read More
Renewable energies generate temporary mismatches between energy demand and supply. The conversion of surplus energy to hydrogen and its storage in geological formations is one option to balance this energy gap. Storage in deep saline aquifers is the most cost-effective option for ... Read More
Investigating the unusual neotectonic activity in northern Norway provides a number of challenges since both far-field and near-field stresses need to be considered. The far-field background stress strongly controls the overall stress regime. The regional stress field stems from the ... Read More
Seismic evaluation of existing dams is a major issue that has been even more highlighted by the recent events in Italy. In this regard, researchers and engineers need a reliable and quick tool to assess the complex behaviour of the structure – fluid – soil system. In this paper the soil ... Read More
Studies of poroelastic systems increasingly utilize numerical modeling. Especially for geotechnical applications models are set up as a tool to understand phenomena in porous media that deform due to changes of the hydraulic regime, or in which the flow field is affected by changes of ... Read More
Using a 1-D model of polymer displacement, we analyze the exergy (maximum attainable work) balance of viscosifi ed water, e.g. with Arabic gum. The 1-D model shows the principle how such an analysis can be done. A comparison as to the displacement efficiency is made between three ... Read More
