Offer Description

Mission:

Observe and model multi-physics phenomena at various scales in porous media for the design of sealing barriers in the energy sector.

Functions to be developed:

• Explore digital image correlation tools or particle image velocimetry (DIC/PIV) for the study of local processes in porous media.
• Integrate non-invasive techniques with numerical tools for the pre-processing of numerical models.
• Investigate the in situ monitoring of the evolution of local deformations and the formation of preferential gas pathways.
• Define improvements in advanced non-invasive techniques (PIV-NP) for the analysis of large soil deformations.
• Explore the application of infrared techniques, thermography or X-ray tomography in physical models (1g/ng).
