Supercomputer Simulation of Hot Fractured Rock Geothermal Reservoir Systems

该项目旨在开发一种先进的计算模型，以模拟热裂岩（HFR）地热能开发的断裂地质材料，与Geodynamics Ltd合作，该公司正在开发澳大利亚的第一个HFR现场。该发电站储存的能源足以满足澳大利亚70年的能源需求。该模型有可能提供成功开发HFR能源巨大潜力所需的地热能提取预测能力。预期的成果是一个新的超级计算机模拟工具，以帮助HFR能源设施的设计，建设，风险评估和生产，这将有助于澳大利亚成为新兴的全球HFR地热行业的世界领导者。

The project aims to develop an advanced computational model to simulate fractured geomaterials for Hot Fractured Rock (HFR) geothermal energy exploitation in collaboration with Geodynamics Ltd which is developing Australia's first HFR field site. The site has enough stored energy to provide all Australia's energy needs for up to 70 years. The model has the potential to provide the predictive capacity for geothermal energy extraction required to successfully exploit the immense potential of HFR energy. The expected outcome is a new supercomputer simulation tool to aid in HFR energy facility design, construction, risk assessment and production that will help Australia become a world leader in the emerging worldwide HFR geothermal industry.
