“…The establishment of a geothermal system in the Kadidia area is closely related to the tectonic activity that is still active today, the Palu Koro active fault [2]. Induction of heat can induce fractures formed in rock samples to increase the productivity of geothermal potential [3].…”

“…In order to improve the heat production, reservoir stimulation must be used to create a large number of interconnected fractures because of its ultralow permeability (0.001-0.1 md). 1,2 To stimulate the reservoir, researchers have proposed several methods, including traditional rock fracturing, [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] hydraulic fracturing, 14,15 thermal fracturing, 16,17 shear stimulation, 11 and multilateral wells. 1 And then, the mechanical characteristics of HDR under thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) effect were also researched.…”

“…However, the task to model the thermal fracturing process in deformable and permeable porous media is not trivial, which involves the coupling of heat transfer, mass transport, and stress change as well as the fracture propagation. Researchers have been making efforts to simulate the thermal fracturing considering different degrees and combinations of coupling by different strategies . The tools employed include analytical method, finite element method (FEM), finite difference method, and boundary element method.…”

“…However, the task to model the thermal fracturing process in deformable and permeable porous media is not trivial, which involves the coupling of heat transfer, mass transport, and stress change as well as the fracture propagation. Researchers have been making efforts to simulate the thermal fracturing considering different degrees and combinations of coupling by different strategies [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The tools employed include analytical method, finite element method (FEM), finite difference method, and boundary element method.Recently, the development of extended FEM (XFEM) has enabled the fracturing problem to be solved in a continuous fashion by introducing additional degrees of freedom to the existing nodes of the traditional finite elements when containing discontinuity [16].…”
