Abstract
Numerous intersected rock fractures constitute the fracture network in enhanced geothermal systems. The complicated convective heat transfer behavior in intersected fractures is critical to the heat recovery in fractured geothermal reservoirs. A series of three-dimensional intersected fracture models is constructed to perform the flow-through heat transfer simulations. The geometry effects of dead-end fractures (DEFs) on the heat transfer are...
