Experimental Study on Transient Hydraulic and Heat Transfer Characteristics of Granite Fractures under Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical Coupling

The hydraulic and heat transfer evolution of granite fractures under thermo-hydro-mechano-chemical coupling represent a pivotal challenge for the sustainable and stable operation of Enhanced Geothermal Systems. In this study, transient fracture flow and heat transfer experiments...

Fracture characteristics of layered rock during supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing: an experimental and thermal–hydraulic–mechanical–damage numerical study

Rock heterogeneity and structural anisotropy exert significant influences on fracture propagation during reservoir stimulation. Focusing on layered sandstone, this study conducted supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO₂) fracturing experiments under different stress ratios and beddi...
