Small Scale Properties
The Small Scale Properties team within the Experimental Physics of Fluids and Porous Media department of the Earth Sciences and Environmental Technologies division at IFP Energies nouvelles studies small-scale fluid flows, transport and reactivity phenomena (from micron to cm), in natural or artificial porous media. The team’s work aims to determine useful properties to feed a multi-scale approach in the fields of energy, transport and environment. The skills and tools involved are those of four platforms: Micromodels, Cal-X (characterization by X-ray), Online analysis, Digitalization. The team thus benefits from advanced experimental means (high pressure, high temperature) for observation, characterization, analysis and also multiple modeling tools. The fields of application directly related to the DIM MaTerRe concern the management of strategic gases such as CO2 or H2 (study of the cycle, capture, storage, recovery), catalysis, storage or recovery of energy (batteries, geothermal energy…), soil and climate.
