Modelling geochemical and microbial consumption of dissolved oxygen after backfilling a high level radiactive waste repository

A coupled THMC model of a heating and hydration laboratory experiment in unsaturated compacted FEBEX bentonite

“…FADES allows the simulation of the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils (Navarro and Alonso, 2000 Zhang et al, 2008), interpret the Redox Zone Experiment in a fracture zone of the Äspö site Molinero and Samper, 2006), evaluate the long-term geochemical evolution of radioactive waste repositories in clay (Yang et al, 2008) and granite (Yang et al, 2007), model the transport of corrosion products and their geochemical interactions with bentonite (Samper et al, 2008c), analyze stochastic transport and multicomponent competitive cation exchange in aquifers and study concrete degradation (Galíndez et al, 2006). (Xu et al, 1999;Samper et al, 2009).…”

Numerical evaluation of multicomponent cation exchange reactive transport in physically and geochemically heterogeneous porous media

“…CORE 2D and all Table 1) its versions have undergone extensive verification and have been used to model laboratory tests and field case studies [12,13,35,37,44,[46][47][48].…”

Inverse hydrochemical models of aqueous extracts tests

“…The inverse problem is solved by minimizing a generalized least-squares criterion with a Gauss-Newton-Levenberg- Molinero and Samper, 2006), analyze stochastic cation exchange reactive transport in aquifers (Samper and Yang, 2006), couple 7/32 chemical and biological processes within the context of the CERBERUS project in Boom clay Zhang et al 2008), evaluate interactions of bentonite-concrete (Yang et al, 2007a), corrosion products and bentonite (Samper et al, 2008c) and evaluate oxygen consumption in a HLW repository in granite (Yang et al, 2007b). INVERSE-CORE 2D has been used to interpret laboratory experiments (Dai and Samper, 2004) and model geochemical processes in coastal systems .…”
