The rising population along with a growing reliance on modern technology has increased
energy demand. Energy sources must be used with caution as the focus on developing a …

Heat extraction from the geothermal reservoir is sensitive to reservoir properties, operating
parameters and coupling among various processes. Due to complex reservoir structure …

Deep geothermal energy exploitation is primarily accomplished using an enhanced
geothermal system (EGS) to extract heat from hot dry rock (HDR). The use of hydraulic …

Closed-loop geothermal systems (CGSs) represent an effective means of extracting low-
grade thermal energy from hot dry rock (HDR). Thus far, there has been much debate on …

A coupled thermal-hydro-mechanical (THM) model based on the combined finite-discrete
element method (FDEM) is presented for simulating rock cracking driven by multi-physics …

A novel enhanced geothermal system with multilateral wells is proposed to extract heat from
hot dry rock in this study. For this EGS, one main wellbore is drilled to hot dry rock. Several …

The existence of preferential flow paths, such as fractures and/or fault play an vital role on
the thermal breakthrough of geothermal doublet system. The interaction between the …

In this paper, a peridynamic-enhanced finite element formulation is introduced for the
numerical simulation of thermo–hydro–mechanical coupled problems in saturated porous …

The geothermal heat production from Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) is influenced by
complex thermal-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) coupling process, it is necessary to consider …

At present, geothermal energy is a promising research area but with a series of unknowns
waited to be explored. Recently, the U-shaped closed loop geothermal extraction system …
