Acoustic Propagation in Poroelastic Media
The propagation of acoustic waves in porous media is of interest in a variety of areas, including oil well logging, the seepage of contaminants into ground water supplies, and the flow of fluids in packed beds. The aim of this work is to solve the equations of motion for the fluid and solid domains …

Application of the Variational Fracture Model to Hydraulic Fracturing in Poroelastic Media
… used models are designed without considering poroelastic effects even though a propagating hydraulic fracture induces deformation of the surrounding porous media. A rigorous hydraulic fracturing model capable of reproducing realistic fracture behaviors should couple rock deformation, fracture …

A numerical study of wave propagation in poroelastic media by use of the localized differential quadrature (LDQ) method
… The right theory for such materials is poroelasticity. Since many investigations on poroelasticity have been conducted on static problems, the study on wave propagation is of great importance. First in this thesis, the theory of wave propagation in fluid-saturated poroelastic media and …

Geomechanical aspects of fracture growth in a poroelastic, chemically reactive environment
… and pattern development of multiple NHF in a poroelastic media. A realistic geomechanical model is developed to combine both the fluid flow and mechanical interactions between multiple fractures. The natural hydraulic fracture propagation is observed to consist of a series of crack-seal …

Flow and mixing in complex porous media
The flow and mixing of fluids in complex porous media is important in a large range of environmental settings, from groundwater flows to the geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO$_2$). This thesis investigates two distinct and fundamental features of such flows; the mixing of miscible fluids of …

Efficient algorithms for flow models coupled with geomechanics for porous media applications
… different in nature from those governing porous media flow. The geomechanical effects account for the influence of deformations in the porous media caused due to the pore pressure and can be very important especially in the case of stress-sensitive and fractured reservoirs. Considering that …
