A locally conservative finite element framework for the simulation of coupled flow and reservoir geomechanics (2007, background): “They range from one-way coupling [14] to loose or explicit coupling [26], iterative coupling [18, 31, 37, 38, 42] and fully coupled approaches [11, 21].”
Iteratively coupled mixed and Galerkin finite element methods for poro‐elasticity (2007, methodology): “Three coupling techniques have been applied to solve coupled flow and mechanics problems: full coupling, iterative coupling, and explicit coupling [9].”
Sequential methods for coupled geomechanics and multiphase flow (2010, methodology): “…interactions between flow and geomechanics have been modeled using various coupling schemes (Prevost, 1997; Settari and Mourits, 1998; Settari and Walters, 2001; Mainguy and Longuemare, 2002; Minkoff et al., 2003; Thomas et al., 2003; Tran et al., 2004, 2005; Dean et al., 2006; Jha…”
Coupled fluid flow and geomechanical deformation modeling (2003, methodology): “The loose coupling algorithm is similar in spirit to the methods described in the papers of Fung et al. (1994), Settari and Mourits (1994), and Settari and Walters (1999).”
ON ITERATIVE IMPES FORMULATION FOR TWO-PHASE FLOW WITH CAPILLARITY IN HETEROGENEOUS POROUS MEDIA (2010, methodology): “There are two different approaches [41,60] used for solving the coupled system of nonlinear equations arisen after the fully implicit scheme.”
Stability and convergence of sequential methods for coupled flow and geomechanics: Fixed-stress and fixed-strain splits (2011, methodology): “In contrast to solving the mechanical problem first, other sequential methods have been investigated in reservoir engineering, where the flow problem is solved first [10,12,16,27,28].”
A primal-dual active set method and predictor-corrector mesh adaptivity for computing fracture propagation using a phase-field approach (2015, methodology): “This coupled system is solved with a fixed-stress iteration [18, 19] in which the pressure equation and elasticity equation are solved sequentially.”
