Thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) coupled processes govern geomechanical aspects for geological disposal. Therefore, understanding of these coupled processes is essential for accurately analyzing and predicting long-term performance of geological disposal systems. Numerical modeling can improve the understanding of such complex interaction among heat transfer, fluid flow, and mechanical responses in porous media. In addition, it can help define suitable conditions for geological disposal.
To conduct an adequate assessment of the performance and changes in the conditions of the disposal system after closure, as well as study the associated risks in the absence of engineered barriers, it is necessary to generate numerical model scenarios exploring the effectiveness of natural barriers at containing radionuclides (when all the engineered barriers have failed e.g., glass matrix, primary package, and overpack.)
However, to be able to carry out post-closure safety assessment based on numerical modeling it is necessary to implement a model that considers thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling. In this work a sequential coupling between TOUGH3 and FLAC3D is validated. T10-Q04 University of Alberta Activity 2025-03-04 T10-Q04
