GeoSierra - Thermomechanical and Hydrogeology Modeling Software
GeoSierra personnel have pioneered numerical methods for coupled thermomechanical and hydrogeological modeling of jointed rock masses and in the discrete element method for the fracturing and interaction of sea ice with offshore structures and vessels, such as the codes CICE and DECICE developed in the early 1980`s - see Arctic Offshore. Current simulation codes encompass continuum, discontinuum and particle methods in mixed mode formulations for simulating geo-materials, geo-fluids, contaminants, and multi-phase reservoir fluids including supercritical fluids. Particular emphasis has been directed to modeling fracturing of brittle materials with invasive fluids including existing and new fractures, and the propagation of inclusions by non-invasive fluids in ductile materials.
