Development of Coupled models and their VaLidation against Experiments – DECOVALEX
Source: Jörg Renner (Ruhr University Bochum)
The DECOVALEX project is an international research collaboration and model comparison initiative, established in 1992, aimed at advancing the understanding and modelling of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) processes in geological systems. The current project (2024-2027) is now in its ninth phase and we want to introduce a new framework for online benchmarking and model comparison. The first examples have been implemented in the SAFENET and ANALOG tasks.
