Capillary pressure and relative permeability are important parameters in geothermal reservoir engineering. It is essential to represent capillary pressure curves mathematically in an appropriate way. The Brooks-Corey capillary pressure model has been accepted widely, however it has been found that the Brooks-Corey model cannot represent capillary pressure curves of The Geysers rock samples. In ...

With the continuous construction of large-scale geotechnical engineering, more and attention has been paid to long-term stability rock mass especially problem creep under influence water. Combined with author’s previous research on triaxial characteristics sandstone water-rock interaction, a nonlinear constitutive model was established capture degradation behavior due cyclic wetting drying rese...

The presence of methane in coal mines is one of the major problems in underground coal mines. Every year, in underground coal mines, a lot of casualties due to outbursts and explosions of methane gas is occurring. Existence of this gas in the mines not only creates a difficult and dangerous situation for work but also makes it more expensive. The release of this gas to the air causes a further ...
