About the Reactive Hydrodynamics Group

The Reactive Hydrodynamics Group is one of the six research groups of the Geosciences Department of the Paris School of Mines. This research group of about 15 people has developed expertise in modeling of chemically reactive systems, often coupled with hydrodynamic flow and/or migration processes. In addition to model development, the group actively participates to research projects via Ph.D. studies, national and international scientific collaborations. The most well-known models, CHESS, HYTEC and PROSE, are currently distributed and applied in water resources agencies, R&D departments of industrials, or consultancies. In addition, some models are used for educational purposes at university level.

The research group is fundamentally pluri-disciplinary, composed of chemists, geochemists, hydrologists, hydrodynamicians as well as specialists in mathematics and/or modeling of strongly non-linear systems. The group contributes to a wide variety of research domains, including environmental sciences (ground- and surface water pollution, soil chemistry, industrial and nuclear waste disposal or storage, acid mine drainage, see figure at the left) and industrial applications (leaching of valuable metals, valorization of industrial wastes and purification of water circuits of nuclear power plants). The group provides expertise and carries out fundamental research, including experimental work, on the problem of storage of green-house gases such as CO₂.
