Abstract
We present a numerical method for coupling transport with chemistry in porous media. Our method is based on a fixed-point algorithm that enables us to coupled different transport and chemistry modules. We present the methods for solving the sub-problems, detail the formulation for the coupled problem and show numerical examples to validate the method.

Résumé
Nous présentons une méthode numérique pour le couplage du transport et de la chimie en milieu poreux. Notre méthode utilise un algorithme de point fixe, qui nous permet de coupler des modules de transport et de chimie différents. Nous présentons les méthodes numériques utilisées pour chacun des sous-problèmes, ainsi qu'une formulation pour le problème couplé, et nous validons la méthode sur quelques exemples numériques.

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

• If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
• You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
• You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
