Program 2024 May 13 - 17^th

Monday : Flow & transport

Morning

• Flow modelling (including unsaturated and 2 phase flow)
• Transport modelling (including temperature, density)
• The ORTI3D modelling platforms, models available
• A simple exercise to use the interface

Afternoon - cases

• 2D flow and transport : groundwater river interaction
• 3D flow with an emphasis on boundary conditions
• Variable density flow in a cross-section
• Unsaturated flow in a 1D soil profile

Tuesday : Chemistry

Morning

• Geochemistry : main reaction types, database, Phreeqc
• Typical examples in groundwater
• Ion exchange and surface complexation
• Kinetics and biodegradation

Afternoon - cases

• 2D cross section with ion exchange and mineral dissolution/precipitation
• Biodegradation reactions during fermentation
• Aquifer Storage & Recovery system: radial injection with surface complexation

Wednesday : Gases and temperature

Morning

• Effect of temperature on reactions
• Gas phases and interactions with water
• Geothermal reactions
• Simple exercise (temperature and gas)

Afternoon

• CO2 injection with carbonates reaction in a deep well
• H2 injection including biodegradation in a radial system
• Reinjection of geothermal brines, temperature dependant reactions

Thursday : Organic compounds 

Morning

• Typical organic compounds, behavior, setting database
• Enhanced biodegradation processes
• PFAs compounds behavior : degradation, sorption
• Simple exercise (basic kinetics)

Afternoon - cases

• PFAs in unsaturated zone, capillary fringe, reactions
• BTEX as NAPL with biodegradation and volatilization
• Chlorinated solvents degradation with lactate injection

Friday : Advanced concepts 

• Using PEST (or other optimization tool)
• Using ORTI3D with python
• Developing in OpenFoam
• Work on your own case

Practical work will be done local computers but one can come with his own laptop. The used softwares are all free access (Orti3D, Phreeqc, OpenFoam).

Practical and administrative information

Course will be held at : ENSEGID - Bordeaux INP (France). [ Campus map - research Bordeaux INP - ENSEGID ]

The course will be taught by Olivier Atteia (UMR EPOC), Henning Prommer (CSIRO, AUS), Laurent André (BRGM), Nicalos Devau (BRGM) and Beatriz Coral (Numineo)
