The presence of discontinuities, such as fractures or geological faults, can significantly
influence the fluid flow in a porous medium. In general, the discontinuities can act as …

Deep geological disposal is the preferred solution for radioactive waste management in
many countries, including Belgium, where the Boom Clay is one of the potential candidate …

With its excellent fatigue performance and high damage tolerance and other irreplaceable
advantages, FMLs have gradually increased the demand in aerospace, rail transit, ship and …

This paper focuses on understanding transient temperature and water redistributions in
compacted bentonite under thermal gradients in high-level nuclear waste disposal …

The impact of fractures on the behavior of rock masses is frequently assessed with
numerical methods for hydromechanical modeling and upscaling. Given the popularity of …

A model for gas migration though clay-based buffer material is developed for modeling gas
generation and migration associated with deep geologic nuclear waste disposal. The model …

The geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste is the final step in the nuclear fuel
cycle. It is realized via isolating the high-level radioactive waste in the geological …

Heat and electricity production from deep hot reservoirs through hydrothermal or
petrothermal system requires to inject cold fluid in a naturally or artificially fractured medium …

The injection of gas in a liquid-saturated clay-rich material may lead to the formation of
narrow channels or fractures created by the mechanical action of gas pressure. However …

Before you lies the result of ten months of hard work–work that, hopefully, will allow me to
complete the master's program in Applied Earth Sciences at TU Delft, specialising in Geo …
