Constraints on Ocean Floor Permeability from Hydrothermal Modelling

S. Titarenko[1], A. McCaig[1]
[1]School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK

The Atlantis massif is a domal submarine seamount close to the mid-Atlantic Ridge at 30 °N. Close to the crest of the Massif, the Lost City hydrothermal field (LCHF) has been active for at least 120,000 years, venting fluids with a temperature of 40-90 °C. 5 km north of Lost City, a ... Read More

Numerical Model for Leaching and Transporting Behavior of Radiocesium in MSW Landfill

H. Ishimori[1], K. Endo[2], H. Sakanakura[2], M. Yamada[2], M. Osako[2]
[1]Ritsumeikan University, Kusatsu, Shiga, Japan
[2]National Institute for Environmental Studies, Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan

This paper presents the numerical simulation model for radiocesium leaching and transporting behavior in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill and discusses on the design for the required geometry and properties of the impermeable final cover and the soil sorption layer, which work for ...

Rheological and Topographical Controls on Deformation Due to a Shallow Magma Reservoir

J. H. Johnson[1]
[1]University of Bristol School of Earth Sciences, Bristol, UK

The use of high-resolution topography in the finite element model demonstrates that deformation from a shallow pressure source can be dramatically affected by overlying relief, not only in magnitude, but also in azimuth. This result is significant as it allows traditionally anomalous ... Read More

Modeling Cracking in Quasi-Brittle Materials Using Isotropic Damage Mechanics

T. Gasch [1], A. Ansell [1],
[1] KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden

An extension of the Solid Mechanics interface in COMSOL Multiphysics® is presented to analyze localized deformations of quasi-brittle materials, for example cracking in concrete. This is achieved by implementing an isotropic damage mechanics constitutive law, which is combined with both ... Read More

Mechanical Strength Simulation of Concrete Samples Using COMSOL Multiphysics® Software with 3D Mesh Generated by Industrial Tomography System

W. C. Godoi[1], D. A. Ussuna[2], S. J. Ribeiro[2], K. de-Geus[3], V. Swinka-Filho[2], F. C. de-Andrade[3], K. F. Portella[2], B. L. Medeiros[2], R. C. R. Santos[4]
[1]Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná, Curitiba, PR, Brazil
[2]Institutos Lactec, Curitiba, PR, Brazil
[3]Copel Geração e Transmissão S.A., Curitiba, PR, Brazil
[4]Universidade Federal do Paraná, Curitiba, PR, Brazil

Analysis of concrete structures is usually carried out by destructive methods. The internal volume flaws directly influence concrete properties. Such inclusions are empty or even resulting from the manufacturing process or degradation by percolation leaching dissolution and chemical ... Read More

Pore-Level Influence of Contact Angle on Fluid Displacements in Porous Media

H. Ali Akhlaghi Amiri[1]
[1]University of Stavanger, Stavanger, Norway

Wettability affects two-phase displacements in porous media by determining the microscopic distribution of fluids in pore spaces. The impact of wettability on transport properties at macro-scales has been widely addressed in literature; however a deeper understanding of wettability ... Read More

Simulation of Groundwater Flow Patterns around a Vertical Circulation Well

Y. Jin[1], E. Holzbecher[2], S. Ebneth[2], A. B. Tatomir[1]
[1]Department of Applied Geology, GZG, Georg-August- University of Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany
[2]Hölscher Wasserbau GmbH, Haren, Germany

Vertical circulation wells (VCWs) are well system consisting dual-screened sections allowing synchronous extraction and injection of groundwater in a single borehole. Vertical circulation flow or dipole flow is induced. This type of well has been widely used for in-situ remidiation, ... Read More

Coupled Hydro-Mechanical Analysis of Excavation Damaged Zones around an Underground Opening in Sedimentary Rock

H. Abdi[1], E. Evgin[1], M. Fall[1], T.S. Nguyen[2], and G. Su[2]
[1]University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON, Canada
[2]Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, Ottawa, ON, Canada

A large amount of research work has been carried out in many countries to determine the viability of radioactive waste disposal in deep geological repositories. It is well known that excavation can cause damage around underground openings. On the other hand, the mechanical damage can ... Read More

Numerical Simulation: Field Scale Fluid Injection to a Porous Layer in Relevance to CO₂ Geological Storage

S. Kim[1], S. A. Hosseini[1], S. D. Hovorka[1]
[1]Bureau of Economic Geology, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA

CO₂ geological storage can help to provide a “bridge” from a fossil-fuel dependent system to a more diversified energy portfolio. Pressure monitoring for an injection zone (IZ) and an above-zone monitoring interval (AZMI) has been under operation at a field-scale CO₂ injection site, ... Read More

Stabilization Time in Infiltration Test

A. H. Ito[1], S. R. Lautenschlager[1], J. H. C. Reis[1], A. Belincanta[1]
[1]Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Maringá, PR, Brazil

The percolation of water into soil can be modeled considering Darcy's Law in laminar flow. In this manner the key property is the coefficient of hydraulic conductivity. Its determination can be made through laboratory or field testing. One of the most known field tests used for ... Read More
