Abstract: Water flow experiments in single tensile and shear granite fractures were conducted to investigate the nonlinear flow behavior. Fracture geometry parameters based on single fracture wall (Rp, Z2, Z3, Z4, JRC) and two ...

Abstract: Fracture permeability is one of the critical factors affecting thermal production in hot dry rock reservoirs. Mechanical creep can cause temporal reduction of fracture permeability. However, the study solely on mechanical ...

Abstract: Initiation toughness, propagation toughness, and arrest toughness can be considered as threshold values to predict the dynamic behavior of cracks in initiation, propagation, and arrest. For rock materials, initiation ...

Abstract: Cofiring sludge with coal based on existing power plants is a promising method to realize harmless recycling treatment for sludge disposal. However, the influences of sludge addition on NOx emission are still controversial. ...

Abstract: This paper is devoted to the understanding of the flow characteristics of a powder lubricant. An accurate and realistic model is introduced to investigate the mechanism of powder lubrication ...

Abstract: Optimizing reservoir refill operations is important for improved water use. This study developed a real-time refill operation model using scenario-based forecasts. To bridge the gap between forecast horizon and operation ...

Abstract: The moisture content of rocks in nature often changes with the natural hydrological environment, and generally natural rock may be classified into three types, that is, dry, natural, and saturated rock. The corresponding ...
