Analytical and Numerical Models in Geo-Energy

Dear Colleagues,

The development of geo-energy and the storage of carbon dioxide and hydrogen involve physical mechanisms such as fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and solid mechanics, etc. The governing equations are generally partial differential equations of parabolic, hyperbolic, or elliptic type. Analytical or semi-analytical methods are often used to solve situations which are based on ideal assumptions, typically computationally efficient. For practical or complex situations, numerical methods are widely used, and the work in numerical models is generally aimed at describing more complex mechanisms or using new discretization schemes or solver strategies to improve computational efficiency or accuracy. This Topic focuses on recent advances in analytical or numerical models in the field of geo-energy.
