DECOVALEX (DEvelopment of COupled models and their VALidation against EXperiments – www.decovalex.org) is a long-running international research project investigating complex coupled processes in the subsurface. The project has a focus on deep geological radioactive waste disposal and aims to build understanding, modelling approaches and community in this very complex area; in particular, the project aims to bring together experimentalists and modellers in a common forum.

This webinar will cover one particular task in the current DECOVALEX phase, which considers the potential for thermally induced fracturing of deep clays. The work builds on state-of-the-art field-scale experimental data, using COMSOL Multiphysics^® to develop system understanding and make blind predictions of the evolution of the field-scale experiment. The modelling approach and key results for the deep disposal of radioactive waste in deep, low-permeability formations will be discussed.
