Simulations of Dynamic Fracture Networks, Fracking, and Properties of Fractal Antennas II Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 34798

Session Description:
The dynamic behavior of fracture networks can be simulated by forward and inverse modeling in the presence of multi-scale data and parametric and structural uncertainty. Presentations will include collaboration between scientists from different disciplines, such as mathematical modeling, statistics, network science, field experimentation, and data analytics.

How high volume fracking induces distributed fracturing that allows oil and gas recovery is not understood. Fracking involves many interacting physical processes, including fluid flow, rock deformation, utilization of preexisting natural fractures, and feedbacks from the evolving fracture network.

Fractal antennas use self-similar patterns to increase their perimeter by iteration over a range of length scales. Iteration produces fractal antennas that are very compact, wideband and multiband. As the number of iterations increases, the antenna operates at higher and higher frequencies. Manifestly different from traditional antenna designs, a fractal antenna can operate at multiple frequencies simultaneously.
