1. On the Validation of a Numerical Model for the Analysis of Soil-Structure Interaction Problems
Abstract Modeling and simulation of mechanical response of structures, relies on the use of computational models. Therefore, verification and validation procedures are the primary means of assessing accuracy, confidence and credibility in modeling. This paper is concerned with the validation of a three dimensional numerical model based on the finite element

2. A stress-displacement solution for a pressure tunnel with impermeable liner in elastic porous media
Considering the effects of the changes of the pore water pressure around the opening, the construction sequence of the tunnel and the interaction between the liner and the surrounding geomaterial on the mechanical response of the tunnel and in conjunction with the analyses of the continuity and boundary conditions for the stress and displacement and hydrauli

3. Isotropic damage phenomena in saturated porous media: a bem formulation / Dano isotrópico em meios porosos saturados: uma formulação do método dos elementos de contorno
This work is devoted to the numerical analysis of saturated porous media, taking into account the damage phenomenon on the solid skeleton. The porous media is taken into poroelastic framework, in full-saturated condition, based on the Biots Theory. A scalar damage model is assumed for this analysis. An implicit Boundary Element Method (BEM) formulation, base

4. Theoretical-experimental analyses of simple geometry saturated conductivities for a Newtonian fluid
The conductivity (K) of porous media represents an important physical parameter in several areas of knowledge. In saturated flow, the saturated conductivity (K0) is the most important parameter of porous system and it is related to the fluid and porous media properties. In order to evaluate the potential of a new tool for measuring K0, such as the computatio

5. Reconstrução tridimensional de meios porosos utilizando técnicas de simulated annealing
The characterization of porous materials constitutes a problem of scientific and technological interest. Determination of the macroscopic properties of the porous medias have application in many areas, such as production of petroleum, civil and mechanical engineering, for example. In the present work are presented computational methods to estimate the intrin

6. FLOW OF EMULSIONS IN POROUS MEDIA: EXPERIMENTS AND CAPILLARY NETWORK MODEL / ESCOAMENTO DE EMULSÕES EM MEIOS POROSOS: EXPERIMENTOS E MODELO DE REDE DE CAPILARES
Objective: Transport of emulsions in porous media is relevant to several subsurface applications. Many enhanced oil recovery processes involve emulsion formation and their flow in some form. Modeling the flow of emulsion in porous media is extremely challenging. The available descriptions based on effective viscosity are not valid when the drop size is of th

7. Simulador de meios porosos saturados elastoplasticos / Numerical simulator of saturated elastoplastic porous media
The exploration of mineral resources is growing in importance in the Brazilian economy. Since the environments in which these resources are found are becoming increasingly more complex and challenging for the production phase, currently unavailable knowledge and technologies are required to produce these reserves. In the particular well drilling and completi

8. Boundary element method formulation for reinforced porous material / Formulação do método dos elementos de contorno para materiais porosos reforçados
In this work a nonlinear formulation of the boundary element method (BEM) is proposed to deal with saturated and unsaturated poro-elasto-plastic 2D reinforced domains. To model reinforced porous domains a BEM/FEM (Finite Element Method) modified coupling technique is employed. The coupling is made by using the least square method to regularize the displaceme

9. NUMERICAL MODELING OF VIRUS TRANSPORT IN FRACTURED-POROUS MEDIA / MODELAGEM NUMÉRICA DO TRANSPORTE DE VÍRUS EM AQÜÍFEROS FRATURADOS - POROSOS
Setback distances of wellhead and catchments from septic tanks are establised by three aproaches: methods based on fixed setback distances or fixed travel times; methods based on vulnerability analysis and methods based on infection risk. In Costa Rica, the determination of setback distances is based on fixed travel times. This approach considers that during

10. MODELAGEM SÍSMICA EM ARENITOS: EFEITO DA DISPERSÃO DA VELOCIDADE E DO TIPO DE FLUIDO / SANDSTONE SEISMIC MODELING: EFFECTS OF VELOCITY DISPERSION AND FLUID TYPE
The evaluation of reservoir dynamics during production through time-lapse interpretation has reached a substantial importance in the petroleum industry, mainly in sandstones. This evaluation presents many challenges, mainly concerned to unmask the overlapping of different effects in seismic data due to reservoir changes. Several factors affect seismic proper

11. FLUX AND TRANSPORT STUDY OF PURE GASOLINE AND GASOLINE BLENDED ETHANOL IN UNSATURATED POROUS MEDIA / ESTUDO DO FLUXO E TRANSPORTE DE GASOLINA PURA E MISTURADA COM ETANOL EM MEIOS POROSOS NÃO SATURADOS
The subsurface release of water immiscible pollutants (NAPLs) due to leaks in storage tanks or pipelines and spilling transportation accidents is of great concern, since the NAPL or its constituents may migrate through the vadose zone until reaching the water table and eventually contaminate clean water sources. In Brazil, most of the gas stations store etha

12. NUMERICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF ACOPPLING SURFACE WATER: GROUNDWATER / UMA IMPLEMENTAÇÃO NUMÉRICA DO ACOPLAMENTO ÁGUA SUPERFICIAL: ÁGUA SUBTERRÂNEA
While analyzing the interaction between the hydrological processes of surface and groundwater flow, it is seen that there is a big difference in its interaction in the space and time. These processes can be represented in a qualitative form as part of the hydrological cycle, demonstrating its dependences and importance in the hydrological balance. This work
