This research project is to
apply a fully coupled mathematical model of the thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM)
coupling process that may significantly influence the overall energy production
processes regarding enhance geothermal system (EGS). The student interns will
work together with experienced researchers at KAUST to conduct a series of
parametric studies regarding EGS reservoirs under various conditions. They will
also participate in various academic activities at KAUST to enhance their
knowledge and understanding regarding numerical techniques and simulation
applications
