  1. 1. Petrological, geochemical and structural evidence of fluid-rock interaction in the Siljan Ring

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaper

    Author : William Crang; [2024]
    Keywords : methane; hydrothermal fluids; fluid-rock interaction; impact craters; reduction haloes; pyrite preservation; Siljan Ring;

    Abstract : The Siljan Ring in Dalarna, Sweden is the site of the largest meteor impact crater in Europe and has long been a topic of discussion regarding methane production. However, the source of this methane and the timing of production in relation to the impact remain unclear. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Influence of Roughness on Electrical Properties of Single Rock Fractures

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Yu Hou; [2023]
    Keywords : Single fracture; Roughness; Current; Electrical properties; Relative standard deviation; Numerical simulations; Enkelfraktur; Grovhet; Ström; Elektriska egenskaper; Relativ standardavvikelse; Numeriska simuleringar;

    Abstract : To investigate the relationship between the structural characteristics of rough single fracturesand the electrical properties of the rock. In this study, a series of physical models of roughand smooth single fractures were established using the finite element method and Ohm's lawto test the electrical conductivity. READ MORE

  4. 3. Idealised remediation scenario in two small-scale intersecting fractures

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Agnes Zúniga Ekenberg; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Analysis of mass transport in rock fractures has become increasingly important in underground storage of radioactive materials and remediation of polluted groundwater in fractured rock aquifers. Permeability of rock mass is regulated by present rock fractures, where flow is mainly through the fracture networks. READ MORE

  5. 4. Modelling of Fluid Flow and Contaminant Transport in Fractured Rock : Case Study

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Ebba Pegestam; [2022]
    Keywords : Contaminant transport; Discrete Fracture Network; Geology; Geohydrology; Groundwater transport; Fracture; Drinking water; Contamination; Föroreningar; flödestransport; spricknätverk; geologi; geohydrologi; grundvattentransport; sprickor; dricksvatten;

    Abstract : Drinking water contamination is a big concern in Sweden and is commonly traced back to being waste from former manufacturing industrial sites. Pollutants in the topsoil can be remediated by several techniques, such as decontamination or excavation but the toxins already enclosed in the bedrock cannot be treated the same and is harder to track possible contaminant pathways.

  6. 5. Groundwater Inflow into Fractured Rock Tunnels

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Mariam Beydoun; [2022]
    Keywords : groundwater inflow; rock tunnel; discrete fracture networks; discrete fracture-matrix; equivalent porous medium; Darcy’s Law; Reynold’s equation; cubic law; grundvatteninflöde; bergtunnel; discrete fracture networks; discrete fracture-matrix; equivalent porous medium; Darcy’s Law; Reynolds equation; cubic law;

    Abstract : Groundwater inflow is a challenge in construction of tunnels in fractured bedrocks since it affects the safety function of tunnels and leads to potential problems in the surrounding environment, such as subsidence, dropdown of the groundwater table. Quantification of groundwater inflow into the tunnel is also important for design of grouting in the construction of the tunnel. READ MORE
