PORE 2-1: Upscaling Theories and Multiscale modeling of flow and reactive transport in porous media

Join Michel Quintard, CNRS Research Director Emeritus at the Institute of Fluid Mechanics in Toulouse, France, from June 19-26, 2026 for an exciting new online course.

Porous media present a fundamental modeling challenge: their intricate structure spans multiple length and time scales, making direct simulation impractical for most applications. This complexity has driven the development of a rich landscape of approximate modeling approaches—from meso-scale methods like pore network models to fully macroscopic continuum descriptions, including hybrid formulations and phase-splitting techniques.

Course Dates:
