The Forsmark site is studied in the context of the Swedish nuclear disposal project. One key step is defining, at the relevant depths ‐ from 200 to 400m ‐ a Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) model. The DFN modeling framework is based on simplified rules that mimic the kinematic processes governing fracture nucleation, growth and arrest (models are named UFM for likely Universal Fracture Model).
Dr. te Kamp has carried out laboratory experiments on rock properties as well as in-situ measurements in boreholes. He has worked on geothermal energy research and is experienced in modeling fractured rock, stress-field behavior and flow processes.
