Understanding the mechanics, the physics and their couplings appearing in fluid-filled porous media is a keystone for solving forthcoming challenges in Energy and Environment. Indeed, porous media are ubiquitous in many natural and industrial systems of interest in various fields of engineering such as: Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Material Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, or Food Industry, to mention only a few.

The MPPM course focuses on the Mechanics and Physics in Porous Media. It encompasses their experimental characterisation by indirect porosimetry and direct imaging, poromechanical behaviour modelling, transport properties estimation, fluid-solid couplings and the properties of confined fluids in porous media.

This international master’s degree offers multidisciplinary key courses to achieve an advanced specialist level in all areas involving porous media such as geomechanics or physics of porous materials. It is suited for students planning both an academic or an industrial career and provides the theoretical basis and the practical expertise required to pursue in research, in R&D structures or in companies.

Objectifs

• Prepare students at an advanced specialized level to meet present and future challenges in (geo)mechanics or physics of porous media,
• Develop engineering research skills to engage in quality and successful research,
• Prepare students for leading positions in industry and government Research and Development departments.

Savoir-faire et compétences

At the end of this program, the students in the Master of Mechanics and Physics in Porous Media will be able to:

• Justify a solid expertise in mechanics or physics of porous materials,
• Design and conduct experiments, analyze and interpret data,•
• Review, analyze, and interpret the body of scientific literature, contemporary issues and innovations in physics and mechanics area,
• Plan and define a research or R&D project to understand a physical phenomenon pertaining to mechanics or physics of porous media.
