Training course | Multiphysics and multiscale coupled processes in geomaterials – Focus on thermal effects and gas transfer impact on the behaviour of geomaterials

Background information

Geomechanics plays a significant role in the understanding of the multiphysics and multiscale processes taking place in a geological disposal facility for radioactive waste. The objective of the training course is to introduce state-of-the-art understanding, concepts and methods related to thermo-hydro-mechanical coupled processes, the physical impacts of thermal loading and the mechanistic understanding of gas migration in geomaterials. Results from the EURAD project will be integrated to the course. Half day will be dedicated to presentations by early-career researchers. A visit to the HADES Underground Research Laboratory (EURIDICE, Mol, Belgium) will be organised on the last day of the course.
