The dynamic behavior of magmatic hydrothermal systems entails coupled and nonlinear
multiphase flow, heat and solute transport, and deformation in highly heterogeneous media …

Geologic controls on development of high-flux hydrothermal conduits that promote
epithermal ore formation are evaluated at large and small scales for geothermal systems of …

Numerical simulation is a fundamental instrument for the elaboration and assessment of a
strategic utilization of geothermal energy. It can be used for the evaluation of both the natural …

The immense store of heat in the earth (~ 1013 EJ), provided mainly by decay of natural
radioisotopes, is the ultimate source for geothermal resources. It results in a global terrestrial …

To significantly increase the use of geothermal resources, describing geothermal systems in
post-calderas is essential because this type of system is infrequent and has not yet been …

Fluid flow is an integral part of hydrothermal mineralization, and its analysis and
characterization constitute an important part of a mineralization model. The hydrodynamic …
