The IR CO2 laser powered chemical conversions in the gas phase are intriguing and the researchers’ attention was focused on this transformation a while ago. The method, known as Infrared Laser Powered Homogeneous Pyrolysis, or IR LPHP opened reaction pathways not reached by conventional ... Read More
冻融循环引起的破坏是季节冻土区渠道的主要病害，其发生与温度梯度和水分迁移有密切的联系。为了研究冻融循环作用下土体温度变化与水分分布，多场耦合理论应运而生。但目前存在的多场耦合模型大多采用了过多的参数，其中的一些参数甚至难以确定。因此本文基于Harlan流体动力学模型，以温度和孔隙率为变量建立了一个实用的多场耦合控制方程，然后采用COMSOL Multiphysics中的数学模块中的系数型偏微分方程（PDE）对土体温度场和水分场进行模拟，并与室内水分迁移试验进行对比，证明了该耦合模型的有效性。最后以北部引嫩工程渠道为例，建立模型试验，所得试验结果与模拟结果也是十分接近。 Read More
The groundwater flow is accompanied by the electric field with potential called usually the streaming potential or the Self-Potential (SP) to be measured on the ground surface (e.g., Rizzo et al., 2004; Bolève et al., 2007; Jardani et al., 2009). We studied numerically the SP signals ... 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
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
Geologic carbon storage that involves injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) into a subsurface sequestration site provides the vital approach for reducing CO2 emissions into atmosphere and thus addressing climate change issue. One challenge associated with CO2 geologic storage is that pore ... Read More
Mechanical simulation at one pair of asperity contact has been conducted using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and the Structural Mechanics Module to study the sliding friction of rock fractures surface as real fracture surface contact slides driven by pressure solution. The evolving ... Read More
2015年由美国大发起页岩气革命成功地使美国从油气进口国转变为油气出口国。这使得页岩气成为能源领域关注的热点。页岩气与煤炭和石油相比更为清洁，且储量更为丰富。开发页岩气的两项关键技术是水平井钻井技术和压裂改造地层技术。 然而，由于页岩相比于其他岩石水化学活性更强，导致在水平井钻穿储层过程中井壁极容易垮塌失稳。油基泥浆的使用可以克服上述问题，但成本昂贵且受环保限制。水基泥浆的普及依赖于对页岩水化的深入理解。在页岩水化反应过程中，温度场、离子浓度场、渗流场、应力场均不同程度地作用在井壁周围岩石，而且相互耦合作用随时间不断变化 ... Read More
Disposal in deep clay geological formations is one of the promising options for disposal of high-level radioactive waste. Yet, they can generate considerable amounts of heat as a side effect of radioactive decay. This paper shows how COMSOL Multiphysics has been used to evaluate the ... Read More
The results of two thermal response tests recently performed on two vertical borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) are presented. The BHEs have the same cross section and a depth of 100 m and 120 m respectively. The evaluation of the thermal properties of the ground and grout are performed by ... Read More
