Over the last year, EPCC has been working closely with the Institute of GeoEnergy Engineering at Heriot-Watt University on the GeoChemFoam project. Recently we made GeoChemFoam v5.2 available on ARCHER2, and we are presenting a webinar on what it does, and how to install it on an HPC platform.

What can GeoChemFoam do?

The application has been designed specifically for researching pore-scale processes related to the energy sector's transition from fossil fuels and to our Net Zero future.

The application can be used to simulate flow, reactions, and transport in 3D images obtained from X-ray micro-computed tomography, and has diverse applications in clean energy research, including Hydrogen storage; CO2 capture and storage; Fuel cells and geothermal energy; Upscaling permeability in reservoirs; Contaminant transport and building materials.

GeoChemFoam provides state-of-the-art solvers for heat transfer, transport, multiphase flow, and chemical reactions in porous media, and has direct applications in various fields, including energy storage, environmental remediation, and materials science.
