In this chapter, we discuss how two-way coupled fluid flow and geomechanics can be modeled in the MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox (MRST) using the ad-mechanics module. A brief introduction to linear poroelasticity is provided, which is a common framework for studying geomechanics in the context of...
...oxides, Nd2O3, and Pr2O3 or their mixtures in different fluoride electrolytes composed of NdF3, PrF3, and LiF at ca. 1040 °C were monitored using a graphite probe inserted into the electrolyte during the dissolution process. Fast voltage sweeps of 100 V/s were applied to the graphite probe, and the current...
...present work quantifies the equilibrium defect and adsorbate chemistry on oxide surfaces in the presence of multiple gas components at elevated temperatures and sub-surface space charge. The concentrations of chemisorbed H2O and CO2 as well as surface protons and oxygen vacancies were calculated for Y-doped...
...objective of this research was to evaluate the potential of autonomous and connected sweepers for cleaning pavements and cycle ways. Supported by sustainable policies, the networks of cycle ways are growing considerably outside cities, and their maintenance is demanding in terms of economic resources. The...
...migration of bubbles in shear flow and observe that bubbles suspended in elastoviscoplastic emulsions organize into chains aligned in the flow direction, similarly to particles in viscoelastic fluids. To investigate the driving mechanism, we perform experiments and simulations on bubble pairs, using...
Background: Low and lower middle-income countries suffer lack of healthcare providers and proper workforce education programs, a greater spread of illnesses, poor surveillance, efficient management, etc., which are addressable by a central policy framework implementation. Accordingly, an eHealth policy...
OPTIPOL project - “Optimal design and routing of power lines; ecological, technical and economic perspectives” – has been active for two years, although the main operational phase was delayed until autumn 2009. The overall OPTIPOL objective is to develop knowledge and tools to improve the decision on...
Some types of information and communication technology may contribute to reduction of energy and peak power consumption as well as to a more efficient deregulated power market. Automatic meter reading, remote load control and information through Web are examples of such technology. The paper describes...
