Applying the Hengill Geothermal Reservoir Model in Power Plant Decision Making and Environmental Impact Studies
Growth in geothermal power production in the Hengill area of Iceland, and a need for environmental impact studies that look hundreds of years ahead, has resulted in new challenges for numerical model developers. An existing, large-scale, iTOUGH2based 3-D reservoir model of the Hengill volcano has re...
