A 3D computational study of effective medium methods applied to fractured media
Sævik, Pål Næverlid; Berre, Inga; Jakobsen, Morten; Lien, Martha (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-10)This work evaluates and improves upon existing effective medium methods for permeability upscaling in fractured media. Specifically, we are concerned with the asymmetric self-consistent, symmetric self-consistent, and ... -
An Approach for Investigation of Geochemical Rock-Fluid Interactions
Bringedal, Carina; Berre, Inga; Radu, Florin A. (Conference object, 2014)Geochemistry has a substantial impact in exploiting of geothermal systems. When water is injected in a geothermal reservoir, the injected water and in-situ brine have different temperatures and chemical compositions and ... -
Consistent MPFA Discretization for Flow in the Presence of Gravity
Starnoni, Michele; Berre, Inga; Keilegavlen, Eirik; Nordbotten, Jan Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)A standard practice used in the industry to discretizing the gravity term in the two‐phase Darcy flow equations is to apply an upwind strategy. In this paper, we show that this can give a persistent unphysical flux field ... -
Electrical conductivity of fractured media: A computational study of the self-consistent method
Sævik, Pål Næverlid; Berre, Inga; Jakobsen, Morten; Lien, Martha (Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2012)Effective medium theory can be used to link conductivity estimation methods with prior knowledge about the distribution of fractures in the investigated geological structure. In the literature, little work has been presented ... -
Finite volume discretization for poroelastic media with fractures modeled by contact mechanics
Berge, Runar Lie; Berre, Inga; Keilegavlen, Eirik; Nordbotten, Jan Martin; Wohlmuth, Barbara (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A fractured poroelastic body is considered where the opening of the fractures is governed by a nonpenetration law, whereas slip is described by a Coulomb‐type friction law. This physical model results in a nonlinear ... -
Flow in Fractured Porous Media: A Review of Conceptual Models and Discretization Approaches
Berre, Inga; Doster, Florian; Keilegavlen, Eirik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The last decade has seen a strong increase of research into flows in fractured porous media, mainly related to subsurface processes but also in materials science and biological applications, as connected fractures can ... -
High-accuracy phase-field models for brittle fracture based on a new family of degradation functions
Sargado, Juan Michael; Keilegavlen, Eirik; Berre, Inga; Nordbotten, Jan Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02)Phase-field approaches to fracture based on energy minimization principles have been rapidly gaining popularity in recent years, and are particularly well-suited for simulating crack initiation and growth in complex fracture ... -
Influence of natural convection in a porous medium when producing from borehole heat exchangers
Bringedal, Carina; Berre, Inga; Nordbotten, Jan Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-08)Convection currents in a porous medium form when the medium is subject to sufficient heating from below (or equivalently, cooling from above) or when cooled or heated from the side. In the context of geothermal energy ... -
An iterative staggered scheme for phase field brittle fracture propagation with stabilizing parameters
Brun, Mats Kirkesæther; Wick, Thomas; Berre, Inga; Nordbotten, Jan Martin; Radu, Florin Adrian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This paper concerns the analysis and implementation of a novel iterative staggered scheme for quasi-static brittle fracture propagation models, where the fracture evolution is tracked by a phase field variable. The model ... -
Linear and nonlinear convection in porous media between coaxial cylinders
Bringedal, Carina; Berre, Inga; Nordbotten, Jan Martin; Rees, D. Andrew S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011)We uncover novel features of three-dimensional natural convection in porous media by investigating convection in an annular porous cavity contained between two vertical coaxial cylinders. The investigations are made using ... -
