Ecole doctorale TUE, Université Joseph Fourier Grenoble Physics, chemistry, microbiology and modeling of transfer processes in complex porous media. 2013 Teachers: Laurent Charlet (Prof. UJF, ISTerre) Christian Geindreau (Prof. UJF, L3S-R) Jolanta Lewandowska (Prof. Univ. Montpellier) Jean M.F. Martins (CR CNRS, LTHE) Géraldine Sarret (CR CNRS, ISTerre) Lorenzo Spadini (MC UJF, LTHE). Coordinator: J.M.F. Martins (LTHE) Tel. 04 76 63 56 04 jean.martins@ujf-grenoble.fr Description: This course is focused on the transfer/transport problems in porous media (soils), from phenomenological description to theoretical and numerical modelling. The main mechanisms involved in the transport processes are described and identified experimentally. The modelling of flow and transport in porous media using an up-scaling approach by homogenization, is presented. In particular, three fundamental problems are treated theoretically and numerically: water flow, diffusion and dispersion. Two computer sessions using Comsol Multiphysics code complete the first part of the course. In the second part of the course, some particular problems related to soil contamination/remediation are discussed. These problems are: reactive permeable barriers, phyto-remediation and the complex role of bacteria in contamination and decontamination of soils.
