Coupled Thermal-hydrological-mechanical Analysis with TOUGH-FLAC

Jonny Rutqvist and Chin-Fu Tsang

Contact: Jonny Rutgvist, 510/486-5432, JRutqvist@lbl.gov

Research Objectives
The objective of this work is to develop a numerical simulator for coupled thermal-hydrological-mechanical (THM) analysis of complex geological media under multiphase flow conditions, with possible coupling to reactive transport modeling.
