Fault permeability models for geothermal doublet designs

The occurrence and properties of natural faults and fractures in geothermal reservoirs are key in determining reservoir flow properties, and thereby the performance of geothermal doublets placed in fractured reservoirs or in the vicinity of fault zones. In this paper, an analytical model is presented that describes the 3D non-isotropic...

A split-plot experiment with factor-dependent whole-plot sizes

Problem: The dairy company FrieslandCampina had an opportunity to redesign the production process for its coffee cream. This product has a very specific viscosity, and the redesigned process had to result in the same viscosity as the old one. Approach: For an effective redesign, the investigators wanted to obtain a simple model linking the...
