UE Transfer in Porous Media

This course deals with the simulation of (a) groundwater flows, (b) contamination plumes and (c) heat fluxes, in saturated and unsaturated porous media, using numerical models (Feflow and Hydrus). The associated keywords are direct and inverse modelling, groundwater, contamination, geothermal energy. The practical and research implications are the modelling of infiltration, groundwater recharge, flow fields and contaminant fate, the design of remediation systems, heat pumps (low and high energy, i.e. subsurface and deep) and water production systems.

Prerequisite:
* M1 STE-UGA (or equivalent) hydrological or hydrogeological courses.
* M1 STE-UGA (or equivalent) hydrological or hydrogeological courses.

Language
The course is taught in French. Supplements in English are provided if necessary for non-French speaking students.
