InterPore Academy SP-PM Course

Don’t miss your chance to register for Pore 1-8 “Microfluidics for Flow and Transport in Porous Media”

Our next InterPore Academy SP-PM course, Pore 1-8 “Microfluidics for Flow and Transport in Porous Media” will take place online on Sundays, starting 7-28 April 2024 (14:00-17:00 Central Daylight Time) with Wen Song, University of Texas at Austin. Please note that all lectures will be offered live. There will be no recordings available.

This course provides an overview of microfluidics in the context of understanding the pore- and interfacial-scale processes that control multiphase flow and reactions in porous media. This course will begin with a review of fluid mechanics and their reduction to the sub-millimeter length scale. Microfluidics and their fabrication approaches will be discussed, including a lab tour and recent commercialization. Approaches for integrating geochemistry into porous media micromodels will be discussed, along with examples of recent scientific advancements to show the potential of microfluidics toward understanding coupled flow and reactions in porous media.
