Multiscale projection-based embedded discrete fracture modeling approach for CO2 storage in deep saline aquifers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study introduces a multiscale simulation framework, termed Projection-based Embedded Discrete Fracture Modeling with Algebraic Dynamic Multilevel method (pEDFM-ADM), which integrates an embedded discrete fracture network representation with a fully algebraic, front-tracking-based mesh adaptation strategy. Incorporating a fully implicit scheme, compositional thermodynamics, and algebraic multilevel operators, the framework captures essential subsurface processes such as buoyancy-driven migration, convective dissolution, phase partitioning, and fracture-matrix interactions under geologically realistic conditions. The method constructs a hierarchy of multilevel grids and localized multiscale basis functions that introduce fine-scale heterogeneities at each coarse level. Adaptive mesh refinement and coarsening are driven by local variations in CO 2 mass fraction and executed through algebraic prolongation and restriction operators, enabling efficient projection between grid levels. The framework is systematically evaluated across a sequence of test cases with increasing complexity, including systems with low-permeability flow barriers, highly conductive fractures, striking a trade-off between computational resource and detailed simulation accuracy. Overall, the pEDFM-ADM framework provides a scalable, fully algebraic, and physically adaptive modeling tool for large-scale CO 2 storage simulations in fractured porous media, supporting predictive simulation and risk assessment for long-term carbon sequestration.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
