RST 2016

On the 24 – 28 October 2016, the premier national Geoscience congress, known as Réunion des Sciences de la Terre (RST; the French Earth Sciences Conference) will be held in Caen.

The 2016 edition will include 12 different themes, covering every aspect of the Geosciences.

The GEOTREF project will be represented there by five Ph.D. students who will show their work by either oral or poster presentations, in two different sessions.

Abstract

The objective is twofold:

  • Updating a pre-existing software tool, dedicated to mass transport simulation, within the context of the geothermal energy sector. The actual code is based on recent numerical methods (mixed and discontinuous finite elements) well suited to the modeling of highly heterogeneous matrices and complex geometry, as well as front propagation simulation.
  •  The development of an inverse method for the double-media model to facilitate well test interpretation. The multi-scale description of the parameter space differentiates this model from the existing models. This approach consists of initiating the inversion process with a homogeneous medium and gradually increasing the heterogeneity. Refinement indicators of the parameter space permit to automatically manage the increase in heterogeneity.
