Abstract:<p>Numerical studies on integrity of the geological barriers in heat generating radioactive waste disposal remain a challenging topic involving modelling of thermal, hydraulic and mechanical (THM) processes within complex geometries, as well as particularly long simulation time intervals . Due to this, unfeasible computational complexity emerges for many three-dimensional problems, resulting in the need of further model assumptions and simplification for many types of simulation. To make use of r… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
