Analysis of stress, water flow and heat transfer in fractured rocks
Abstract
To analyze the coupled field problem of stress, groundwater flow and heat transfer, the governing equations are formulated besed in the integral form on the conservation law and them directly solved through discritization. It should be noted that direct discritization of the conservation law of various physical quantities using the “Rigid BodiesSpring Model” makes the analysis not only simpler but also more flexible. Two coupled field problem of heat and groundwater flow as well as heat conduction and stresses are analyzed in this paper.
