Investigation of Climate Change on Unsaturated Porous Media via a Discrete Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical Model

The impacts of climate change on unsaturated porous media have been investigated through the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical analysis by leveraging a discrete fracture model. The transport of gas and liquid phases in unsaturated porous media is captured under non-isothermal conditions. The balance p...
