International audience; A two-phase flow model and a biological model where developed based on Darcy's law and Monod's model, respectively. The present model makes it possible to study the thermo-hydraulic behavior of an anaerobic bioreactor landfill in methanogenic phase. The biological model is based on bacterial activities and heat and gas production through solid degradation and production of liquid substrate. This coupled model (model-2) is compared with a classical model of degradation based on first order kinetics (model-1). This paper presents first the two-phase flow and simplified Monod's model of heat and gas generation. It then presents the numerical method to solve the conservation equations. This mathematical model is applied to a real bioreactor landfill in France. This paper presents the thermal results of numerical simulations comparing them with results of the classical model. Finally it will discuss the results, the advantages and inconveniences of this model.
