Thermal experiments for fractured rock characterization: theoretical analysis and inverse modeling

Abstract

HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.

Bayesian inversion of laboratory experiments of transport through limestone fractures

“…Abdelaziz and Merkel, 2015;Hawkins et al, 2020) and sample-based Bayesian inference such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) (e.g. Somogyvári et al, 2017;Zhou et al, 2021).…”

“…Most previous studies in this context are based on 'hypothetical' examples (e.g. Somogyvári et al, 2017;Zhou et al, 2021). This is a key shortcoming, as hypothetical examples often lack the complexity of real-world problems, and are limited to what the chosen numerical modeling approach can reproduce.…”
