Research topics from publications: A Thermo‐Flow‐Mechanics‐Fracture Model Coupling a Phase‐Field Interface Approach and Thermo‐Fluid‐Structure Interaction. Representative work: ABSTRACT This work proposes a novel approach for coupling non‐isothermal fluid dynamics with fracture mechanics to capture thermal effects within fluid‐filled fractures accurately. This method addresses critical aspects of calculating fracture width in enhanced geothermal systems, where the temperature effects of fractures are crucial. The proposed algorithm features an iterative coupling between an interface‐capturing phase‐field fracture method and interface‐tracking thermo‐fluid‐structure interaction using arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian coordinates. We use a phase‐field approach to represent fractures and reconstruct the geometry to frame a thermo‐fluid‐structure interaction problem, resul
