Vers une meilleure intégration des hétérogénéités géologiques dans les modèles d’écoulements des hydrosystèmes karstiques : l’exemple de Fontaine de Vaucluse

The impact of climate change and human activities on the water resource evolution is today a major concern for our societies. Managing karst aquifers requires an in-depth understanding of hydrodynamic flows, considering the heterogeneity of the geological reservoir.

Étude expérimentale et modélisation de la cokéfaction des huiles aéronautiques

The aeronautics sector must rapidly evolve to further improve aircraft energy efficiency. This involves the evolution of fluids, the modification of system architectures and, of course, the optimization of these two items to ensure a safe operation. The degradation of aeronautical oils is one topic that has to be addressed.

Méthodes de réduction de modèles pour la simulation d’écoulements en milieux poreux fissurés et déformables

The study of processes such as CO2 injection in the underground or geothermal energy requires to simulate flows and geomechanics in cracked porous media in a coupled way. Cracks have a major influence on the hydraulic conductivity since they can be highly permeable.

Characterization of Gas-Solid Injection into Fluidized Bed Reactors for Biomass Residues Valorization

The use of biomass/biomass residues as feedstocks for bioenergy and biofuel processes is of rising interest for climate change mitigation. Thermochemical conversion of biomass in fluidized bed reactors, through pyrolysis, gasification, and combustion, requires efficient feedstock penetration and mixing through reliable feed injection systems.
