Percolation Theory has made significant breakthroughs in the understanding of physical
processes through identification of an infinite connected cluster. It allows the definition of …

Microtomography provides detailed 3D internal structures of materials in micro-to tens of
nano-meter resolution and is quickly turning into a new technology for studying …

Faults play a major role in many economically and environmentally important geological
systems, ranging from impermeable seals in petroleum reservoirs to fluid pathways in ore …

Subsurface non-isothermal fluid injection is a ubiquitous scenario in energy and water
resource applications, which can lead to geochemical disequilibrium and thermally driven …

Cnoidal waves are nonlinear and exact periodic stationary waves, well known in the shallow
water theory of fluid mechanics. In this study we retrieve such periodic stationary wave …

We propose a workflow to provide detailed characterisation of microstructures, simulations
of permeability at micro-scale, and to analyse the upscaling of permeability. The workflow is …

During the last decade, knowledge over episodic tremor and slip (ETS) events has
increased dramatically owing to the widespread installation of GPS and seismic networks …

Frictional behaviour of rocks from the initial stage of loading to final shear displacement
along the formed shear plane has been widely investigated in the past. However the effect of …

The present paper gives an overview of the GeomInt project “Geomechanical integrity of
host and barrier rocks—experiment, modelling and analysis of discontinuities” which has …

Patterns in nature are often interpreted as a product of reaction-diffusion processes which
result in dissipative structures. Thermodynamic constraints allow prediction of the final state …
