Laboratoires des recherches- LRESE-Équipes de recherche

Research teams, themes and Objectives

In addition to the training objectives of young researchers within the framework of laboratory activities, each research team has scientific research objectives

Team 1: Operational Hydrology

Head of team: Prof. CHETTIH Mohamed

Members: M.B. Taouti, M. Saci

The main areas of research are:

Spectral, fractal, multifractal and wavelet analyses of hydrological series;
Non-linear dynamics and search for chaos and strange attractors in the chronicles of rains and flows;
Stochastic Analysis of Hydro-Meteorological Series Using Time-Frequency-Energy Techniques.

Team 2: Water and Environment

Head of team: Professor. GAFSI Mustapha

Members: A. Hamlat, A. Rayane

The objectives of this team are:

Development of scale models on the water reserves affected by the eutrophication problem;
Elaboration of water-related development scenarios;
Assessment of the management situation of water resources and monitoring development to optimize the selection of hydraulic savings system;
Estimating the current availability of water in relation to the demand.

Team 3: Flow and Transport Phenomena

Head of team: Professor DJEHICHE Abdelkader

Members: A. Guidoum, M. Bouache, A. Djaballah

The main objective is the study of the transport and storage of particles in porous media.

The main research topics are:

Use of non-destructive experimental techniques;
Channel tests on the dynamics of the sedimentary bottom;
Numerical simulation of flows through earth dams.
Study of the effect of the Peclet number and the salinity on the adsorption of colloids;

Team 4: Regional Hydrogeology and Vulnerability of Aquifers

Head of team: Professor STAMBOUL Madani

Members: M. Sekkoum, K. Yamani

The main research topics are:

Define a methodology specific to the hydrogeological study of an environment characterized by its lithology, structure and water supply controlled by a semi-arid to arid climatic system, which is disturbed by mountain influences;
Study and characterize the different sources of pollution and draw up maps of pollution vulnerability.

Team 5: Deterministic and Stochastic Modeling

Head of team: Dr. MOUATTAH Kaddour

Members: W. Tadj, M. Makoudi

The objective is to develop strategies for optimization of structural parameters where the finite element method will be used for the simulation of hydraulic and geotechnical processes.

The main areas of research are:

Deterministic modeling with finite elements and operational validation using metaheuristic techniques;
Coupling between deterministic methods and stochastic methods for the determination of structural parameters.
