Abstract submission is open!

Abstract submission for InterPore2022 is open and its deadline is only three weeks from now! Abstracts can be submitted for oral and poster presentations to be offered in-person or online in 24 minisymposia. The submission deadline is Monday, 03 January 2022.

Submit your abstract today!

We are very optimistic about the possibility to gather in-person once again in 2022 and are looking forward to the exciting location of Abu Dhabi, UAE! The InterPore office, the Local Organizing Committee from Khalifa University, the Program Committee and minisymposium organizers are busy putting together a stimulating scientific and social event for you.

The logistics of getting to Abu Dhabi are proving to be very easy:

• There are non-stop flights from 115 cities in 64 countries. Airfares can be found for less than 500€ from most European cities.
• Entry visas are free of charge upon arrival at Abu Dhabi International Airport for citizens from over 70 countries.
• Vaccinated travelers arriving from 95 countries are not required to quarantine.
• We are delighted to announce that we have negotiated special room rates for participants at the 5-star Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi located just across from the conference venue. Single-occupancy rates are as low as 90€ per night. Information on how to reserve your room can be found on the conference website. We are in negotiations with one additional hotel which will also offer great rates – details coming soon. Free shuttle service will be provided between the official conference hotels and the conference venue, reducing your need to worry about the hassle, or the heat, when getting around.
• Don’t miss out on all the exciting locations in Abu Dhabi, for example the home of the Louvre Abu Dhabi!

Minisymposia Spotlight

In the interdisciplinary spirit from which the InterPore society was born, the minisymposia provide a forum where investigators and technicians from disparate fields can come together and display their commonality of problems, investigatory techniques and solution strategies.

(MS05) Biochemical processes and biofilms in porous media

• Anozie Ebigbo – Helmut-Schmidt-Universität, Germany
• Roseanne Ford – University of Virginia, USA
• Valentina Prigiobbe – Stevens Institute of Technology, USA
• Eleonora Secchi – ETH Zurich, Switzerland

Biochemical processes, including microbially-driven mineral precipitation and biofilm accumulation and activity, can impact reactive mass transport and material properties of porous media. We invite contributors to present and discuss results from microbial, enzymatic and temperature-driven experimental and simulation modeling studies, at various scales of observation, which highlight recent advances in this overall theme area. For example, microbially-induced… read more

(MS06-A) Physics of multiphase flow in diverse porous media

• Ryan Armstrong – University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia
• Saman Aryana – University of Wyoming, USA
• Carl Fredrik Berg – Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway
• Yaniv Edery – Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, Israel
• Ying Gao – Shell, the Netherlands
• Signe Kjelstrup – Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway

Multiphase flow in porous media is significant to many applications ranging from subsurface and near-surface flow processes, that are operative in petroleum engineering, carbon storage and utilization, remediation of soil contamination, soil physics and hydrogeology, to applications in material science, such as membranes and fuel cells. In all these applications, it is often desirable to establish relationships between microstructural and surface properties of the media, fluid properties, and Darcy scale effective properties. The purpose of this minisymposium is to provide a forum to share and explore recent insights into multiphase displacement physics through experiments, modelling and theory development. Examples of potential topics of interest include the following… read more
