buoyant injection of a reactive (heat-melting) non-wetting fluid in a porous medium. Calculations performed with a lattice Boltzmann method, in collaboration with Andrea Parmigiani (University of Geneva)
Research interests:
My research focuses on geological fluid dynamics and its consequences on the environment and the rock record. My interests include magmatic processes (from the formation of melts to their eruption or crystallization in the crust), heat and mass transfer in porous media and diffusion in complex and anisotropic media (with application to thermochronology). One of my goals is to tie together observations (from geophysics, petrology, geochemistry, crystalline textures...) with dynamical processes. I am also involved in the development of new numerical tools based on the lattice Boltzmann method to address diverse geological questions.
