HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Numerical analysis of thermal response tests with groundwater flow and heat transfer model

This research, co-authored by J. Raymond, L. Gosselin, R. Lefebvre, and Aquanty’s René Therrien, explores how thermal response tests (TRTs) can be enhanced by employing HydroGeoSphere (HGS), our advanced modelling platform, to simulate coupled groundwater flow and heat transfer processes under complex geological settings. The study investigates the limitations of traditional line-source models, particularly in heterogeneous subsurface conditions, and introduces a numerical modelling approach to improve the accuracy of TRT analyses.

HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – The HypoSalar project: Integrating hyporheic exchange fluxes into Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) spawning habitat models

In this research highlight ultra-fine resolution HydroGeoSphere models are used to simulate hyporheic exchange fluxes in river reaches used by Atlantic salmon for spawning. The HypoSalar project is contributing to demonstrate that the capabilities of HydroGeoSphere are not exclusively related to the field of hydrogeology, but can be used for both fluvial geomorphology and ecological studies due to HydroGeoSphere's flexibility and superior modeling approach.
