Electro-hydraulic fracture simulation

The software has the following features:

  • Hydraulic Fracturing with Proppant Transport
  • Pulsed Power Fracturing with HM coupling (phase-field & Nonlocal gradient-based damage)

My research interests include novel rock breakage and fracture for subsurface resource recovery, data-driven and physics-based multiphysics modeling in porous and fractured media, and granular material flow characterization and modeling. My research supports energy and mineral recovery and storage, material handling, and geohazard prediction.
