Multiphysics Modeling for Petroleum Geomechanics Multiphysics Modeling for Petroleum Geomechanics

Petroleum (related) geomechanics applies the principles of engineering mechanics to predict the failure of porous, discontinuous, granular, heterogeneous, and anisotropic materials, whose properties vary with the type and the degree of...

Oil Discharge and Transport in a Natural River Oil Discharge and Transport in a Natural River

A discharge of hydraulic oil is assumed from an hydroelectric power station. The oil is let out through the outlet from the turbines and is spread into the river. The flow of water, or more correctly, the solution of water and oil, is...

Stabilised Finite Element Modelling of Oldroyd-B Viscoelastic Flows Stabilised Finite Element Modelling of Oldroyd-B Viscoelastic Flows

The Oldroyd-B family of viscoelastic fluids are notoriously difficult to model numerically. Standard Galerkin finite element methods are prone to numerical oscillations, and solutions break down as fluid elasticity increases. The...
