The influence of thermal damage on macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of
different rocks has received much attention in the field of rock engineering. When the rocks …

High-temperature rocks in the geothermal reservoir are susceptible to damage under
periodic extraction and reinjection conditions, and variation of the pore structure threatens …

The natural fracture system exerts a significant influence on the physical and mechanical
properties of rock masses. The heat transfer in fractured rock masses is much more …

Heat transfer in jointed rock masses exhibits characteristics of discontinuous,
heterogeneous, and anisotropic due to the effects of rock discontinuities. In this work …

The effective thermal conductivity of rock (ETCR) is widely used in the field of geology
engineering. However, the ETCR is influenced by various factors, and the determination of …

Geothermal heat extraction from close to decommissioning oil and gas wells is a proven
benison for avoiding permanent plugging and ensuring the sustainability of such wells …

In this work, effective thermal conductivity (λ Eff) of fractured rock masses was numerically
investigated. A two-dimensional Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) model of the fractured rock …

Accurate characterization of the effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of porous media is
crucial for analyzing heat transfer involved in the scientific, technological, and engineering …

Detecting the thermal environment of extraterrestrial planets in situ is crucial for
understanding Earth and terrestrial planets' formation and evolution. Beyond measuring the …

We investigated 22 different serpentinization level peridotite samples from the North
Pyrenean Zone (NPZ) and along the North Pyrenean Fault (NPF) to characterize their …
