3 Introduction  Coupled thermal–hydrologic–mechanical processes under multiphase flow conditions are prevalent in geoscientific applications.  A few of the most important include nuclear waste disposal in geological media, deep underground injection of hazardous waste and underground storage of carbon dioxide into permeable aquifers. 3

4 Introduction  However, there is no single computer code that handles general coupled thermal–hydrologic– mechanical processes.  The two codes—TOUGH2 and FLAC 3D are linked using sequential execution and data transfer through nonlinear coupling functions. 4

26 Conclusion

27 Conclusion  We have linked two codes—TOUGH2 and FLAC 3D —for analysis of coupled thermal- hydrologic-mechanical processes.  The coupling modules contain nonlinear stress versus permeability functions.

Conclusion  In both these examples, the hydromechanical changes are relatively slow, which is most suitable for the sequentially explicit solution.  Problems with higher strain rates relative to fluid mobility may require the sequential implicit approach or ultimately a fully implicit coupled approach.
