Geoenergy Modeling I: Geothermal Processes in Fractured Porous Media

by Norbert Bottcher, Uwe-Jens Gorke, Norihiro Watanabe, et al.

This introduction to geothermal modeling deals with flow and heat transport processes in porous and fractured media related to geothermal energy applications. Following background coverage of geothermal resources and utilization in several countries, the basics of continuum mechanics for heat transport processes, as well as numerical methods for solving underlying governing equations are discussed. This examination forms the theoretical basis for...
