Hydromechanical Processes in Energy Geotechnics
Session ID#: 160085
Session Description:
Increasing energy demand and related negative implications on climate change necessitate the development of sustainable energy systems based on integrated energy production, transport, transfer, and storage strategies. Energy Geotechnics merges together concepts from geotechnical engineering and geomechanics with hydrological, geophysical, geochemical, and petrophysical principles. The most important aspects influencing energy production include the effects of stress state change, pore fluid pressure, and temperature on subsurface fluid flow. This session invites experimental, theoretical, and numerical contributions to different aspects of energy geotechnics, especially those dealing with coupled transport and deformation phenomena. Specific topics include, but are not limited to shallow and deep geothermal energy extraction, seasonal and long-term geologic storage, fundamental advances in poromechanics, and interdisciplinary research overcrossing social, engineering, and scientific disciplines.
