Hydro-Mechanical Assessment of Rainfall-Induced Tunnel–Pile–Slope Interaction through Numerical and Field Investigations of Deformation and Stability

Thermo-hydro-mechanical effects of hydraulic fracturing on depressurization-induced gas production from natural gas hydrate reservoirs: a numerical study

A MATLAB-based thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) simulator incorporating the Snow equivalent-permeability tensor was developed for hydraulic-fracturing-assisted depressurization of natural gas hydrate reservoirs in a two-dimensional axisymmetric domain. Validation against Shenhu field-production data, TOUGH+Hydrate benchma...

Numerical Simulation of Hydraulic Fracturing in Coal Reservoirs Based on a Damage–Seepage Coupled Model and Optimization of Perforation Parameters

Coal reservoirs exhibit strong heterogeneity and complex in situ stress conditions, and the initiation and propagation of hydraulic fractures are jointly controlled by reservoir geology and perforation design. A damage–seepage coupled numerical model was established on the COMSOL Multiphysics platform (Version 6.2) by...

Investigation of Failure Mechanisms and Performance Optimization of Channel Seepage Control Layers in Cold Regions Under Coupled Wetting, Drying, Freezing, and Thawing Cycles

To address the degradation of seepage-control linings and structural instability of water-conveyance channels under coupled wetting-drying-freeze-thaw conditions in cold regions, this study investigated rehabilitated channels founded on expansive mudstone in northern Xinjiang. A two-dimensional transient finite-element...
