Numerical Simulation of Channelization Near the Wellbore due to Seepage Erosion in Unconsolidated Sands during Fluid Injection by Jin Sun, Shiguo Wu, Jingen Deng, Qingping Li, Qi Fan, Linwei Ma, Yanrui Liu

“…The channels may be formed in the unconsolidated sands reservoir due to formation failure during high-pressure water injection or frac-packing. Based on the continuum mechanics, a mathematical model has been established to simulate the formation process of big channels in unconsolidated sands reservoir during fluid injection. …”

Irreducible representation of surface distributions and Piola transformation of external loads sustainable by third gradient continua by dell’Isola, Francesco, Fedele, Roberto

“…As shown by Gabrio Piola and Paul Germain, the most effective postulation scheme in mechanics is based on the principle of virtual work and therefore continuum mechanics must be mathematically founded based on the theory of distributions and on differential geometry. …”

A hybrid ice-mélange model based on particle and continuum methods by S. Kahl, C. Mehlmann, D. Notz

“…Starting from the continuum mechanical formulation, we modify the rheology such that icebergs are held together by a modified tensile strength in the material law. …”
