Comsol Multiphysics and Phreeqc are among the most powerful software in multiphysics and geochemistry, respectively. iCP communicates them and achieves a flexible and powerful tool for solving all kind of multiphysics coupled with reactive transport processes in both, porous and fractured media.
iCP stands for interface Comsol-Phreeqc. It is an interface to couple Comsol and Phreeqc. The result of this interface is a tool for solving a wide range of multiphysics and chemical problems. It is written in Java and uses the IPhreeqc C++ dynamic library and the Comsol Java API. Furthermore, it takes advantage of the multicore computer architecture by balancing the computational load over different threads.
iCP is able to model as many physical phenomena as Comsol does, combined with the powerful chemical capabilities of Phreeqc. From a geoscientific point of view these capabilities can be resumed as:
Furthermore, couplings between chemical and physical processes can also be considered, such as chemically-induced porosity changes and their impact on permeability.

Coinciding with the public release of iCP version 1.0, the partners of the iCP project hosted a training and workshop event in Barcelona, Spain, from June 3-6, 2014.
This event constituted the first workshop of the iMaGE platform and coincided with the release of the first public version of the iCP code. The workshop was open to scientists and consultants interested in modelling reactive transport phenomena with Comsol Multiphysics.
Amphos 21 and COMSOL Multiphysics hosted the second iCP training and Workshop event in Zürich, Switzerland, from October 20-22, 2014.
This event was the second workshop of the iMaGE platform and coincided with the latest stable release of the first public version of the iCP code. The workshop was open to scientists and consultants interested in modelling reactive transport phenomena with Comsol Multiphysics.
Amphos 21 and COMSOL Multiphysics hosted a workshop on "simulating multiphase flow and geochemical processes" in Houton. The workshop took place at the University of Phoenix, Houston, on February 10th, 2015.
Fourth iCP workshop took place in Davis, California on October 21-23, 2015. The workshop was hosted by Professor Tim Ginn’s group in Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at University of California, Davis.
The fifth iCP workshop was held in Waterloo, Canada. The 3-day iCP Basics course was organized for Professor Philippe Van Cappellen’s research group in Department of Ecohydrology at University of Waterloo, Canada.
The sixth iCP workshop took place in Utrecht University (the Netherlands). The workshop was organized for Dr. Mariëtte Wolthers group in the Department of Earth Sciences - geochemistry.
The 7th iCP workshop was held at the office of the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) in Daejeon, Korea on July 17-21st, 2017. This in-house training course was divided in a 3-day course of iCP Basics plus a 2-day iCP Customized training course. In the latter, we discussed the best implementation in iCP of specific problems of interest for KAERI.
