Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Coal
  • Natural gas

Mandadige Samintha Anne Perera spends much of his time researching Coal, Permeability, Methane, Acoustic emission and Petroleum engineering. His study involves Enhanced coal bed methane recovery, Bituminous coal and Brown coal, a branch of Coal. His Permeability study incorporates themes from Petroleum reservoir, Porosity, Triaxial shear test, Fluid dynamics and Overburden pressure.

His Acoustic emission research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Compressive strength, Thermal shock and Fracture. His Thermal shock research incorporates themes from Stress and Heat transfer. His work in the fields of Hydraulic fracturing, Reservoir pressure and Enhanced oil recovery overlaps with other areas such as Carbon sequestration and Flood myth.

His most cited work include:

  • The brittleness indices used in rock mechanics and their application in shale hydraulic fracturing: A review (166 citations)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Permeability (63.74%)
  • Coal (52.75%)
  • Pore water pressure (8.24%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Permeability, Coal, Pore water pressure, Coal mining and Petroleum engineering. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Knudsen diffusion and Argon. His Coal research integrates issues from Swelling, Mixing and Ceramic.

The Pore water pressure study combines topics in areas such as Compressive strength, Stress, Effective stress, Biot number and Surface energy. His work on Coalbed methane as part of his general Coal mining study is frequently connected to Hydrocarbon, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His studies deal with areas such as Fracture and Unconventional oil as well as Petroleum engineering.
