Multi-scale modelling of hydraulic fracturing (B01)

• Subject Area: Mechanics ; Applied Mechanics, Statics and Dynamics
• Term: since 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 327154368

In FP 3, our objective is to develop second-order variational multi-scale models for the dynamic thermo-hydro-mechanical response of fracturing porous media across pore and REV scales. In particular the homogenisation of the pore scale will facilitate the characterization of REVs at different stages of salt precipitation in collaboration with the projects A01, C04 and Z02. Furthermore, we will establish a gradient-extended dynamic model for fracturing porous media in collaboration with the projects B03 (modeling) and B05 (experimental validation).
