Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Thermodynamics
Composite material
Mechanics

Victor Vilarrasa mainly focuses on Overpressure, Geotechnical engineering, Induced seismicity, Caprock and Carbon sequestration. The study incorporates disciplines such as Drag and Drainage in addition to Geotechnical engineering. His research in Induced seismicity tackles topics such as Stress which are related to areas like Water injection, Instability and Effective stress.

His work on Caprock is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Permeability. Victor Vilarrasa has included themes like Capillary fringe, Leak and Supercritical fluid in his Petrology study. His Aquifer study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mechanics, Mineralogy, Brine and Two-phase flow.

His most cited work include:

Geologic carbon storage is unlikely to trigger large earthquakes and reactivate faults through which CO2 could leak (105 citations)
Geologic carbon storage is unlikely to trigger large earthquakes and reactivate faults through which CO2 could leak (105 citations)
Coupled hydromechanical modeling of CO2 sequestration in deep saline aquifers (100 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Geotechnical engineering, Caprock, Induced seismicity, Petroleum engineering and Permeability are his primary areas of study. His studies in Geotechnical engineering integrate themes in fields like Overpressure, Mechanics and Stress. His research integrates issues of Leak, Geomechanics, Aquifer and Relative permeability in his study of Caprock.

Victor Vilarrasa interconnects Brine and Supercritical fluid in the investigation of issues within Aquifer. His Induced seismicity research includes elements of Sedimentary rock, Fault and Petrology. His Permeability study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fracture zone and Porous medium.

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in European research, Petrology, Induced seismicity, Petroleum engineering and Horizon. His Petrology research incorporates themes from Fault and Borehole. His Induced seismicity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Thermal effect, Composite material and Permeability.

Petroleum engineering connects with themes related to Two-phase flow in his study. His research investigates the connection with Horizon and areas like Civil engineering which intersect with concerns in Caprock. As part of his studies on Caprock, Victor Vilarrasa often connects relevant subjects like Co2 leakage.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Impacts of natural CO2 leakage on groundwater chemistry of aquifers from the Hamadan Province, Iran (2 citations)
Sinking CO2 in Supercritical Reservoirs. (1 citations)
Comparison of numerical codes for coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical simulations of fractured media (1 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

Thermodynamics
Composite material
Mechanics

Victor Vilarrasa mainly focuses on Petroleum engineering, Carbon storage, Co2 leakage, Induced seismicity and Buoyancy. Petroleum engineering is closely attributed to Supercritical fluid in his study. Co2 leakage is often connected to Petrology in his work.

As part of one scientific family, Victor Vilarrasa deals mainly with the area of Induced seismicity, narrowing it down to issues related to the Composite material, and often Permeability. The concepts of his Permeability study are interwoven with issues in Discrete element method and Multiphase flow. His Porous medium research integrates issues from Finite element method, Nonlinear system, Modulus and Mechanics, Finite volume method.
