The main work was carried out in the following areas
- Development of a generalized thermomechanical model for the formation of a thermal field in the near - surface layer of the Earth, including the lithosphere and asthenosphere, based on the concepts of developed convection in the mantle, taking into account the contribution of mantle, radiogenic and dissipative components, as well as the influence of local processes of convective heat and mass transfer.
- Study of the influence of various complicating factors (inhomogeneity of permeability, presence of impurity, modulation of parameters, adsorption of components, etc.) on the nature and stability of convective movements of liquids and their mixtures in a porous medium.
- Investigation of filtration convection of highly compressible gases and their mixtures near the thermodynamic critical point of the liquid-vapor phase transition.
- Non-isothermal flows with phase transitions in porous media and geothermal systems.
- Research in the theory of fracturing development in a poroelastic medium.
Scientific achievements
- A three-dimensional thermomechanical model of the formation of the thermal field in the earth's near-surface layer, the stress field, and the surface topography is Constructed, based on modern concepts of developed convection in the mantle and generalizing known models of a similar type.
- The criterion of absolute convective stability of a compressible viscous heat-conducting liquid is obtained, which coincides with the Schwarzschild criterion in the special case when the thermophysical properties of the medium and the adiabatic gradient are constant.
- A new model of hydrothermal convection in fault zones of the earth's crust is proposed and adequate mathematical methods are developed.
- Analytical and numerical methods have revealed the regularities of filtration convection of near-critical van der Waals gas at significant temperature differences.
- Exact and numerical solutions are obtained for a number of problems related to heat and mass transfer with phase transitions in a geothermal reservoir and in the wellbore of a production well.
- New results related to the theory and modeling of fracturing in a poroelastic medium are obtained.
- For the first time, a criterion for crack development in a poroelastic medium is obtained that takes into account the processes of fluid filtration in the pore space. It generalizes its analog for a purely elastic medium, derived from the concept of brittle and quasi-brittle fracture by Griffiths and Irwin.
- A mathematical model of the motion of solutions is proposed, taking into account the osmotic effect.
