8 Numerical difficulties (1/3) For flows Non linear terms induce hyperbolic behaviour Kind of equation : u 2 u m =0 t x2 Stiff fronts can appear m=2 m 2 m 2 Big capillary effect 8 -> No «mean» pressure

12 Coupling (2/2) Thermal evolution -> Mechanic Thermal expansion Lower pressure values Thermal evolution -> flow Changes in Viscosity, diffusivity coefficients Flow, mechanic -> thermal evolution No effect 12
13 Numerical methods for flow Choice of principal variables Capillary pressure/gas pressure Air mass balance ill conditioned for S=1 ϕ ρa 1 S t ρ a k a S p a =0 Saturation/water pressure Air mass balance becomes : ϕ 1 S pe t P c S A 1 S k a S 1 S 13 3 ϕ g S pe 0. 6 S [ pa h S S ] [ pa k a S pe ]= 0 t g S pc 2,6 h S A 1 S At S=1 We have S =0 t

15 Numerical methods for flow and mechanic : spatial discretisation Limitations of previous formulation Poor quadrature rule induces lack of accuracy in stresses evaluations Instabilities appear when simulating gas injection problem CFV/DM (control finite volume/dual mesh) Goal formulation VF compatible with architecture of EF software Principle To use primal mesh for EF formulation of mechanical equations To construct a finite volume cell surrounding each node of the primal mesh To write mass balance on that polygonal cell K 15

22 Benchmark Momas : Simulation of an Excavation under Brittle Hydro-mechanical behaviour Cylindrical cavity Excavation simulation Initial conditions : anisotropic state of stress (11.0MPa, -15.4MP) ; water pressure (4.7 Mpa) Y Radius of cavity : 3 meters Horizontal length for calculation domain : 60 meters Vertical length for calculation domain : 60 meters θ X Permeability : m. s 1 Time of simulation for excavation : 17 days Time of simulation for consolidation : 10 years 22
23 Benchmark Momas : Simulation of an Excavation under Brittle Hydro-mechanical behaviour Mechanical elasto-plastic formulation ' σ1 Drucker-Prager Yield Criterion Space of effectives stresses ' Plastic rule : associated formulation σ2 Triaxial stress state of Drücker-Prager law for a confinement of 2 MPa 8 7 SXX-SYY (Mpa) Softening : decrease of cohesion / shear plastic deformation σ3 ' DY
24 Benchmark Momas : Localisation Phenomenon Coupled modelling After 10 years Shear bandings 0.015m 0.15m Coupled modelling Coarse mesh Coupled modelling Refined mesh Shear bands are related to softening model Localisation bands are influenced by the mesh Hydro-mechanical coupling provides no regularisation 24
25 Benchmark Momas : simulation with Micro Gradient Dilation Model Spatial discretisation with triangle elements Visualisation of Shear bandings on Gauss Points during the excavation phasis 0.05m 0.015m Band width is always greater than 2 elements -> We can hope this result is independent of the spatial discretisation Displacement / deconfinement -> Regularisation gives results for higher deconfinement ratio -> With a coarser mesh, simulation stops earlier 25
26 Conclusions Simulation of nuclear waste storage requires to solve non linear coupled equations in heterogeneous media Some simulations need to solve jointly difficulties relative to two phase flow and brittle mechanical behaviours Control finite volume/dual mesh is a reliable method for coupling darcean flows and mechanic Regularised brittle models seem to be useful in coupled (saturated) simulations Simplified second gradient (Micro Gradient Dilation) model gives reasonable results 26
