Numerical Modelling of Gas-Induced Fractures in Claystone

Association Bernard Gregory is advertising a PhD opportunity focusing on modelling the hydromechanical-gas behaviour of fractured clayey rocks. The project involves coupling hydraulic properties and deformation with pore network concepts, under gas injection conditions, within the Cigéo disposal context.

The successful candidate will develop advanced numerical methods, implement fracture initiation/propagation models, and collaborate within an international geomechanics network, with English
