Description

Within the framework of GEMex, a Horizon 2020 project (Grant Agreement No. 727550), we modeled the initial natural state of the super-hot reservoir system of Los Humeros. This is achieved by solving the porous flow and heat transport equations in a gridded, structural 3D model of Los Humeros using the SHEMAT-Suite (Simulator for Heat and Mass Transport) software (Rath et al., 2006, Clauser, 2003).This paper presents the preliminary findings from the initial conductive simualtions performed in Los Humeros.
