Predicting the deposition in the Aswan High Dam Reservoir using a 2-D model
Abstract This paper is an attempt to predict the deposition in the Aswan High Dam Reservoir, in Egypt, in order to estimate the effective life span of the reservoir. A two dimensional numerical model (CCHE-2D) was implemented to simulate the...

Hydro-climatic changes and their monitoring in the Arctic: Observation-model comparisons and prioritization options for monitoring development
Summary The Arctic undergoes particularly large and rapid hydro-climatic changes, and information on hydrological responses to these changes is crucial to plan for societal adaptation. We investigate hydro-climatic change severity and monitoring in...

The Influence of the Parameters of the Vertical Runner Model on Ground Reaction Force in Different Running Styles
Abstract The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences in two running styles: rear-foot strike (RFS), in which the heel lands first and fore-foot strike (FFS), in which the ball of the foot lands before the heel comes down. These running...

Characterization of Evapotranspiration over Irrigated Crops in a Semi-arid Area (Marrakech, Morocco) Using an Energy Budget Model
Abstract The objective of this study is to evaluate the capability of the two source energy budget (TSEB) to predict daily evapotranspiration over irrigated crops in a semi-arid area. The TSEB model presents particularly interesting skills for...

Kinetic energy extraction of a tidal stream turbine and its sensitivity to structural stiffness attenuation
Abstract The hydrodynamic forces imparted on a tidal turbine rotor, whilst causing it to rotate and hence generate power, will also cause the blades to deform. This deformation will affect the turbine's performance if not included in the early...

Bacteria Detection with Interdigitated Microelectrodes: Noise Consideration and Design Optimization
Abstract Impedimetric biosensors are promising for label-free, real-time, sensitive and selective detection of bacteria. However, these sensors do typically not detect below 103 colony forming unit (CFU) per ml in absence of dielectrophoresis and...

Continuous/discrete geochemical monitoring of CO2 natural analogues and of Diffuse Degassing Structures (DDS): Hints for CO2 storage sites geochemical monitoring protocol
Abstract Italy is one of the most promising prone areas to study the CO2 behavior underground, the caprock integrity to the CO2 leakage, mostly in presence of pervious/geochemically active faults, due to a wide availability of CO2 rich reservoirs at ...

Risk assessment of MUSTANG project experimental site–Methodological development
Abstract One of the work packages of MUSTANG (MUltiple Space and Time scale Approach for the quaNtification of deep saline formations for CO2 storaGe) EU project is dedicated to developing a generic methodology for risk assessment related to CO2 in...

Dynamic alteration along a fractured cement/cement interface: Implications for long term leakage risk along a well with an annulus defect
Abstract The long term fate of wells proximal to CO2 sequestration operations remains poorly understood. To date, experiments have shown that total degradation of well cement is unlikely and that severe, uniform degradation of a conductive pathway...

Interface debonding as a controlling mechanism for loss of well integrity: Importance for CO2 injector wells
Abstract The concept of CO2 storage relies on the long-term sealing properties of both the geological trap and the wells needed to inject and monitor CO2. Well integrity, a classical topic in the oil and gas industry, is thus critical for the...

METSTOR: A GIS to look for potential CO2 storage zones in France
Abstract The METSTOR project offers a methodology to look for potentially interesting CO2 storage areas in France at the initial stage, before the “site selection” step. Our tool, embodied in a Geographic Information System, is based on an...

An improved flowsheet simulation approach for advanced CO2 absorption process design and optimization
Abstract Recent emphasis concerning CO2 removal technologies has increased the demand for rigorous simulation tools for process design and optimization. Although there are several advanced processing tools available commercially today, most of them...

Progress of AIST’s research programs for CO2 geological storage
Abstract CO2 geological storage in the near areas from emission sources is growing up to be of importance in sequestration strategy in Japan. Because of geologic constraints that such areas in Japan are mostly underlain by young and unformed...

Carbonated water injection (CWI)–A productive way of using CO2 for oil recovery and CO2 storage
Abstract The main advantage of CO2 is that at most reservoir conditions it is a supercritical fluid which is likely to develop miscibility with the oil. In reservoirs that miscibility cannot be achieved, CO2 injection can lead to additional oil...
