Course description : One assumes that the algebraic and mathematical formalisms of questions raised by activities in reservoir engineering and geochemistry have been previously elucidated by classes dealing with "transport", "complex transfers", "multi-phase flow", "general hydrogeology", etc. However, the aforementioned topics have to rely upon numerical tools for the purpose of concrete case applications and well-argued quantifications. The teaching unit "Numerical tools and methods" is aimed at presenting with a rigorous formalism the background of calculations methods employed in reservoir engineering and more generally in solving the various types of partial differential equations with Eulerian techniques. Nonetheless, the so-called Lagrangian techniques are also discussion, even though engineering dot not make much case of them. These Lagrangian technique are mainly of the research domain, but find today way out to an increasing number of industrial applications of "transportation" type. Notably, this teaching unit has not the objective to present and let manipulate traded codes, but to understand how these codes work in their calculation engine and then amend the latter.
