This course presents advanced topics of single/multiphase fluid flow, heat transfer, reactive transport, and geochemical reactions in the subsurface. Emphasis is on the understanding of the underlying governing equations of each physical and chemical process, and their relevance to applications, e.g., groundwater management, geothermal energy, CO2 storage, waste disposal, and oil/gas production.

The course provides an introduction into quantitative analysis of groundwater flow and solute transport. It is focussed on understanding, formulating, and solving groundwater flow and solute transport problems.

The course covers hydrogeological investigation methods in unconsolidated sediments (theory only) and fractured rock. Application in hard/fractured rock. Focus on aquitard well tests using a double packer. Estimation of natural hydraulic heads. The students have to sample, display, evaluate and assess own data and write a report. --10-19 June, 11-18 June @Mels
