A coupled formulation based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics, Biot’s elasticity is derived to model thermal-osmotic flow in very low permeability rock. Darcy’s law has been modified by incorporating thermal effects from the dissipation process by using standard arguments of non-equilibrium therm...
