This project is part of the European ERC Synergy project Karst ( https://erc-karst.eu/ ), which aims to develop a predictive flow model for an entire karst network. We will simulate water flows, possibly marked with tracers, in networks comprising millions of nodes.
Liquid–liquid extraction is a key process in the chemical industry and holds an important place in the study of chemical processes at IFPEN.
Catalysts are very often made of active phases containing metallic elements (such as platinoids, cobalt, nickel…) considered as strategic or even critical because of the economic strain induced by a growing usage in multiple sectors (industrial chemistry, energy storage, electrolysers, …) Hence, the quest for a circular economy approach brings n
Les combustibles solides de récupération (CSR) sont des déchets solides, non dangereux, préparés en vue d’une valorisation énergétique par combustion, pyrolyse ou gazéification. Leur quantité abondante en fait un gisement d’énergie important et une alternative à l’enfouissement des déchets.
L'évolution du marché des véhicules électriques est indéniable, avec des avancées significatives dans l'extension de l'autonomie et des performances des véhicules. Au cœur de ces avancées se trouve la batterie de traction, en particulier les batteries lithium-ion.
Un simulateur d'écoulement est particulièrement utile pour des études de stockages souterrains du CO2. Il permet en effet de tester différents scénarios en simulant de façon couplée des mécanismes physiques issus de domaines différents (géologie, géochimie, mécanique des fluides et du sol...).
Air traffic is responsible for an increasingly significant share of global CO₂ emissions. The use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) offers a promising path toward reducing the carbon footprint of the aviation sector.
Controlling pollutant emissions is one of today’s most pressing environmental challenges. Greenhouse gases (GHGs) and industrial emissions such as methane (CH₄) and hydrogen (H₂) directly impact air quality, safety, and climate change.
With increasingly stringent climate change regulations, developing low-emission, carbon-free burners has become crucial for industry and a technical challenge for researchers. Ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen (H2) are the main carbon-free fuels under consideration.
In the realm of New Energy Technologies, gaining a deeper understanding of fluid flow phenomena in porous media is essential to advance applications such as geothermal energy and carbon dioxide (CO2) storage.
The PhD is part of a Franco-German co-funded project between IFP Energies Nouvelles (IFPEN) at Lyon and the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), focusing on the modelling of gas/liquid flows in industrial bioreactors.
The transportation sector has a significant impact on ecology and the environment, both in terms of air and soil pollution, production of greenhouse gases (around 20% in the world and 40% in France), but also in terms of supply of material resources.
