Decarbonization of the heating sector requires the exploitation of climate-neutral energy sources and the use of natural heat storage. Shallow and deep geothermal energy can make a valuable contribution to this. The dimensioning and design of geothermal boreholes and larger borehole heat ... Read More
In this work we present a novel approach to enhance energy efficiency in cooling intake air for air conditioning (AC) systems in harsh environments using geothermal energy. We developed a 3D finite element model to simulate the heat transfer between underground soils/gravels and cooling ... Read More
Campi Flegrei Caldera is an active volcano located westward of Naples, Italy. Despite its volcanic activity spanning over 39,000 years, the area is densely populated and poses a significant threat to the inhabitants due to ongoing seismicity, ground uplift, and hydrothermal activity ... Read More
Transforming the energy sector worldwide towards renewable, climate-neutral energy sources requires innovative ideas and excellent engineering solutions. In particular, shallow geothermal energy utilization is currently showing a remarkable development. In highly urbanized regions, large ... Read More
The study of bentonite erosion mechanisms in fractures is a problem of maximum interest to understand the long-term performance of the engineered barrier in deep geological repositories of spent nuclear fuel. In this context, erosion due to shear by seeping water, sedimentation due to ... Read More
Gas shales are one of the potential sinks considered for carbon dioxide sequestration. Therefore further research on the importance of sorption on the carbon dioxide sequestration potential is highly topical. Experimentally measured maximum sorption capacity of carbon dioxide was about ... Read More
Bentonite is a versatile material that is, among other things, envisaged in designs for radioactive waste repositories to protect the waste canisters against groundwater. The thermo-hydraulic-mechanically coupled process of bentonite saturation is commonly based on two-phase flow and a ... Read More
The Spectral Induced Polarization (SIP) is a promising electrical method, which can be used to predict the saturated hydraulic conductivity of consolidated and unconsolidated porous media. It is important to investigate how the SIP response is affected by the shape and distribution of ... Read More
The calibration of groundwater models is usually limited by the scarcity of direct hydraulic data. The estimation of heterogeneous distribution of hydraulic properties can be improved through a joint or coupled inversion in which the calibration dataset is complemented with geophysical ...
