Thermal Drawdown-Induced Flow Channeling in a Single Fracture in EGS
The evolution of flow pattern along a single fracture and its effects on heat production is a fundamental problem in the assessments of engineered geothermal systems (EGS). The channelized flow pattern associated with ubiquitous heterogeneity in fracture aperture distribution caus...

Grain-Scale Failure in Thermal Spallation Drilling
Geothermal power promises clean, renewable, reliable and potentially widely-available energy, but is limited by high initial capital costs. New drilling technologies are required to make geothermal power financially competitive with other energy sources. One potential solution is ...

Simulation Tools for Modeling Thermal Spallation Drilling on Multiple Scales
Widespread adoption of geothermal energy will require access to deeply buried resources in granitic basement rocks at high temperatures and pressures. Exploiting these resources necessitates novel methods for drilling, stimulation, and maintenance, under operating conditions that ...

Thermal Drawdown Induced Flow Channeling in Fractured Geothermal Reservoirs: Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering
We investigate the flow-channeling phenomenon caused by thermal drawdown in fractured geothermal reservoirs. A discrete fracture network-based, fully coupled thermal "hydrological" mechanical simulator is used to study the interactions between fluid flow, temperature change, and t...

Geomechanical Modeling for Thermal Spallation Drilling
Wells for Engineered Geothermal Systems (EGS) typically occur in conditions presenting significant challenges for conventional rotary and percussive drilling technologies: granitic rocks that reduce drilling speeds and cause substantial equipment wear. Thermal spallation drilling,...
