Fracture-controlled flow and thermal recovery in block-scale enhanced geothermal systems
Operational decisions play a critical role in governing fluid and heat transport in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), particularly in crystalline rocks where flow pathways are highly heterogeneous. This study combines block-scale laboratory experiments with high-resolution thermal-hydraulic simulations in CMG-STARS an...
