Workshop on Modelling, Analysis and Simulation of Processes in Porous Media

March 05/06 2020 • Erlangen, Germany

On March 5th and 6th 2020 there will be an International Workshop on Recent Developments in Modelling, Analysis and Simulation of Processes in Porous Media, organized by the Chair of Applied Mathematics I at Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nürnberg.

Update! Program online (including pdf with all submitted abstracts), information on diner and registration desk, see below!

The day before, in the afternoon of March 04, 2020, Prof. Dr. Peter Knabner will give his last, valedictory lecture. It will be followed by a meeting of alumni including presentations of mathematicians working in industry: „Math meets reality“.  This workshop also follows the celebration of 50 years of applied mathematics at FAU in Erlangen from March, 2 to March, 4. Please see the webpage for more information on this part entitled „Current Trends in Applied Mathematics“.

             

In the interdisciplinary enterprise of understanding processes in porous media, mathematical modeling at appropriate scales is impossible without further developments in mathematical theory, numerical approximations, and large-scale computational algorithms.

Scientists of varying backgrounds face similar issues in different fields and perspectives. In particular, this workshop enables an enhanced exchange between various branches of applied mathematics with the geosciences, ensures the dissemination of appropriate tools and methods, and fosters useful fundamental research in applied mathematics. These kinds of interactions are needed for meaningful progress in understanding and predicting complex physical phenomena in the geosciences.

Invited Speakers:

Hans van Duijn, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands:

„Fronts in two-phase porous media flow: the effects of hysteresis and dynamic capillarity“

Rainer Helmig, Institute for Modelling Hydraulic and Environmental Systems, University of Stuttgart, Germany:

„Interfaces in porous media are (almost) everywhere: Do we need multi-scale concepts and strong cooperation between mathematicians and engineers?“

Mario Putti, Department of Mathematics, University of Padova, Italy:

„Numerical L1 optimal transport via gradient flow“

Florin A. Radu, Deparment of Mathematics, University of Bergen, Norway:

„On iterative solvers for nonlinear, coupled problems in porous media“
