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.

(MS10) Advances in imaging porous media: techniques, software and case studies

For many years, 3D imaging techniques have been applied for material characterization. The last decade, several advanced imaging techniques have been developing at a high speed both on the hardware and the software side. Because of this development and their added value, they are intensively used to study porous media for their characterization as well as to study the various processes occurring inside porous media. For this mini-symposium we invite contributions that focus on advancements in 3D imaging techniques or 3D analysis software to study porous media as well as contributions that integrate these new developments in experiments and real case-studies.

(MS11) Microfluidics and nanofluidics in porous systems

Porous media research spans a very wide range of physical length scales: from micrometer up to the kilometer scale. However, to address the large-scale applications, mostly the Darcy-scale theories are used which are heavily based on the (upscaled) constitutive relations. Validity of the continuum-scale theories (e.g. Darcy’s law for two-phase flow) have been seriously challenged in the recent two decades through microscale experimental and computational research. This minisymposium aims to gather researchers with interest in the use of microfluidics devices for the investigation of pore-scale processes that take place at the scale of individual pores in permeable media in order to highlight our understanding of their impact on the larger size phenomena such as solutes mixing, reactive transport, electrokinetic effects and charged systems, colloids transport and filtration, microorganisms’ growth or mineral aggregate formation.
