APPLICATION OF A THM-COUPLED CODE TO TRANSPORT PROCESSES IN A SWELLING BENTONITE BUFFER AT HIGH TEMPERATURES
Several laboratory experiments have been conducted on specimens of clay-rich materials, as in many concepts for final repositories clay-rich materials play an important role as a technical barrier. The data gained by these experiments put the numerical tools to the test before they can be used for the calculation of problems in a larger scale. BGR develops together with the Universities of Tubingen and Hannover the code Rockflow for modelling these processes in a coupled way. In this paper the modeling of an experiment is described which was used to proof the ability of the code Rockflow to model the THM-behavior of the buffer material MX80 at temperatures of up to 150℃. The results show that temperature, relative humidity, and total stress can be reproduced fairly well.
