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.

As part of the MSCA-DN DT-HATS project, this PhD study addresses a high-impact challenge: developing a next-generation simulation framework for hydrogen/ammonia (H₂/NH₃) dual-fuel combustion, two key energy carriers in the path toward carbon neutrality.

In New Energy Technologies (NET) fields, answering numerous matters and managing applications like geothermal, carbon dioxide (CO2) or hydrogen (H2) storage, require a good comprehension of fluid flows in porous media.

We are excited to announce an open PhD position at IFPEN—fully funded research projects within the ANR-DFG French-German collaboration. This is a unique opportunity to join an international team dedicated to advancing cutting-edge research at the intersection of nanoporous materials and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques.
