In the first kilometers of the subsurface, temperature anomalies due to heat conduction
processes rarely exceed 20–30∘ C. When fault zones are sufficiently permeable, fluid flow …

Calibrating geothermal simulations is a critical step, both in scientific and industrial contexts,
with suitable model parameterizations being optimized to reduce discrepancies between …

Due to the outstanding advantages in light alloy material processing, friction stir welding
technology is of great significance for obtaining high-quality welding products and …

We model hydrothermal convection using a partial differential equation formed by Darcy
velocity and temperature—the velocity formulation. Using the Elder problem as a …

Geothermal simulations are widely used in both scientific and applied industrial contexts.
Typically, the temperature state is evaluated on the basis of the heat equation, with suitable …

Hydrothermal convection in porous geothermal reservoir systems can be seen as a double-
edged sword. On the one hand, regions of upflow in convective systems can increase the …

Thermodynamic optimality principles have been often used in Earth sciences to estimate
model parameters or fluxes. Applications range from optimizing atmospheric meridional heat …

To fight global climate change, we must reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and the
emissions of greenhouse gasses. One way to achieve this is through the use of geothermal …

Hydrothermal convection in porous media is an essential piece of physics in geothermal
reservoirs, and understanding them leads to better development of geothermal energy. We …

We present a global sensitivity analysis with an entropy production objective function to
improve our understanding of transient thermohydraulic processes in geothermal reservoirs …
