Claire Chainais-Hillairet, professor at the Paul Painlevé Laboratory, University of Lille/CNRS (France), will give the SFB 1313 Anneliese Niethammer Lecture of the winter semester 2024/25 on "Corrosion of iron in an underground repository: a new thermodynamically consistent model and some theoretical and numerical results".
Registration: we kindly ask for prior registration via e-mail.
Abstract
The modelling and the numerical simulation of corrosion take part in the general description of the nuclear waste repository. The derivation of models that are accurate in the long-time regime is a challenge, especially in this context. In this talk, Prof. Claire Chainais-Hillairet will start by recalling the Diffusion Poisson Coupled Model introduced by Bataillon et al. in 2010 and she will show how some minor corrections lead to a thermodynamically consistent model. This model consists in a drift-diffusion-Poisson system of equations on a moving domain. She will review the mathematical results she recently obtained with collaborators for this model and the main issues they are currently considering.

About Claire Chainais-Hillairet
Claire Chainais-Hillairet is a Full Professor in Mathematics at the Paul Painlevé Laboratory, University of Lille/CNRS. She holds a Master of Science degree from Sorbonne University (formerly University of Paris 6) and earned her PhD in Applied Mathematics in 1998. Following a two-year postdoctoral/lecturer position, she became an Associate Professor at the University of Clermont-Ferrand II in 2000. In 2010, Claire Chainais-Hillairet moved to Lille, where she has since been appointed as a Full Professor. Her research expertise lies in finite volume numerical schemes for partial differential equations (PDEs), with applications in various fields such as physical sciences and engineering. Specifically, her work focuses on developing and analyzing efficient numerical methods for solving transport-diffusion equations, corrosion models, and semiconductor simulations. She currently serves as an Associate Editor for ESAIM:Mathematical Modelling and Numérical Analysis and for IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis.
About the CRC 1313 Anneliese Niethammer Lecture Series
