Description
Zeinab Aliabadian, Mansour Sharafisafa, and Mojtaba Bahaaddini model carbon dioxide fracking of hot dry rock in 2026. Water fracking strains dry regions, while carbon dioxide in a dense state flows thin and cracks rock well. Their coupled model joins heat, fluid, and rock stress in two layouts.
Ground stress contrast decides how well the fluid performs. Uneven stress fields favor it, while even fields blunt it. Viscosity shifts barely move crack patterns or break pressure. Flow rate drives both break pressure and how many cracks form. Faster pumping grows more fluid driven cracks. Geothermal planners get clear levers to test.
