Experimental investigation of quenching effect on mechanical, microstructural and flow characteristics of reservoir rocks: Thermal stimulation method for geothermal energy extraction (2018, unknown): “Further, most of the studies have been considered flow performance of the mechanically induced fractures (Polak et al., 2003; Yasuhara et al., 2011) and only a few studies have been focused on the flow performance of the thermally induced fractures (Chaki et al., 2008; Siratovich et al., 2015).”
Reactive Transport in Evolving Porous Media (2019, background): “A decrease of permeability is often observed in certain hydrothermally altered rocks induced by mineral precipitation (Fontaine et al. 2001; Dobson et al. 2003a; Polak et al. 2003; Giger et al. 2007).”
Evolution of permeability in a natural fracture: Significant role of pressure solution (2004, methodology): “[17] The mechanistic model developed previously may be applied to describe the time-dependent reduction in aperture that results from the stressing of a natural fracture [Polak et al., 2003].”
