Parameters and Variables Appearing in Repository Design Models.

摘要

This report defines the parameters and variables appearing in repository design models and presents typical values and ranges of values for each. Areas covered by the report include thermal, geomechanical, and coupled stress and flow analyses in rock. Particular emphasis is given to conductivity, radiation, and convective parameters for thermal analyses and elastic constants, failure criteria, creep laws, and joint properties for geomechanical analyses. The data in this report were compiled to help guide the selection of values of parameters and variables to be used in code benchmaking.
