The ongoing unrest at the Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy), characterized by intense ground uplift (bradyseism) and seismicity, is largely driven by the dynamics of deep hydrothermal fluids. Accurately modeling surface deformations requires coupling complex fluid-dynamic scenarios with the ... Read More
The earth dam problem, in its simplest form, is a classic example as is has been studied for over a century using various modelling approaches: experimental, analytical, numerical and statistical. One reason for this surely is its importance for real embankments, which play a crucial ... Read More
The generation of eruptible magma from long-lived, crystal-rich mush reservoirs is a central problem in volcanology. Many volcanoes erupt frequently from storage regions where the interstitial melt fraction sits below the eruptibility threshold of roughly 50 vol%, which implies that ... Read More
The Basin and Range province in western North America is known primarily for its unique topography with sharp changes in elevation and complex deformational history. There is general agreement that the structure of the Basin and Range is the result of large-scale extension and crustal ... Read More
INTRODUCTION: The free-fall trajectories of objects (geodesics) near a massive black hole are treated using Einstein's “general theory of relativity” equations (GR) [1] and are contrasted to corresponding solutions using “Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation” equations (NULG). The ... Read More
Compacted bentonite is widely investigated as an engineered buffer material for deep geological disposal systems because of its low hydraulic conductivity, swelling capacity, and self-sealing behavior. Under elevated temperatures, unsaturated bentonite buffers may undergo coupled thermo ... Read More
Campi Flegrei (CF) is the largest active urbanized caldera in Europe, currently experiencing slow but progressive ground uplift and increasing seismicity since 2005. This deformation is marked by transient variations in uplift rates, with monotonic episodes lasting weeks to years. In ... Read More
Geothermal energy systems require precise sizing to ensure efficiency and sustainability, particularly for probe fields and groundwater doublets. We present two specialized applications developed using COMSOL Multiphysics’ Application Builder, leveraging the Heat Transfer and Groundwater ... Read More
