S. Olivella et al., NUMERICAL FORMULATION FOR A SIMULATOR (CODE-BRIGHT) FOR THE COUPLED ANALYSIS OF SALINE MEDIA, Engineering computations, 13(7), 1996, pp. 87
Presents numerical aspects of the program CODE_BRIGHT, which is a simu
lator for COupled DEformation, BRIne, Gas and Heat transport problems.
It solves the equations of mass and energy balance and stress equilib
rium and, originally, it was developed for saline media. The governing
equations also include a set of constitutive laws and equilibrium con
ditions. The main peculiarities of saline media are in the dissolution
/precipitation phenomena, presence of brine inclusions in the solid sa
lt and creep deformation of the solid matrix.
