Title: Phase-field modeling for multiphase flow and geomechanical processes
Luis Cueto-Felgueroso is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering: Hydraulics, Energy and Environment at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Spain. His research focuses on developing mathematical models and numerical simulation techniques for multiphase flow and geomechanics, with applications in subsurface energy resources and environmental research.
Phase-field models have proven to be effective simulation tools for describing interfacial processes at computationally feasible scales. Recent applications of these models include simulating the nucleation and propagation of hydraulic fractures in geological formations, as well as the behavior of fluid-fluid interfaces during flow through permeable media. The phase-field approach seeks to upscale interface dynamics by … (continue reading)
