The role of thermal cycling in micro-cracking development and flow alt by R D G Fiona Harshini, Ranjith Pathegama Gamage et al

The recent interest in geothermal energy, nuclear waste management, and coal gasification has led to an in-depth examination of how granite rock behaves under subterranean reservoir conditions. Our research delves into the intricate microstructural and fluid dynamics of the Australian Harcourt granite. We emphasize its reactions to repeated temperature changes, cycling between 25 and 900 °C over 1–15 cooling episodes. To achieve this, we utilised X-ray computed tomography (CT) to visualize and reconstruct the heat-treated samples. Subsequently, we measured the porosity, identifying both total and directly interconnected spaces within these samples post-thermal treatment. Using avizo 2021.2, we created a pore network model (PNM) based on the connected porosity data to shed light on how fluids move through these heat-affected samples. The data highlighted that total porosity stayed below 0.5% up to 500 °C, with no directly connected porous regions detected. However, beyond this tempe
