PoreLab invites to a workshop on lattice-Boltzmann Modeling the 24. October. The focus of the workshop is the open-source Lattice Boltzmann Methods for Porous Media (LBPM) code published under the Open Porous Media (OPM) umbrella. The main developer of the LBPM code, James McClure (Virginia Tech), will participate in the workshop. See as well post:
The 3rd National Workshop on Porous Media is scheduled to take place in Oljemuseet, Stavanger, on 16 October 2019. The deadline for registration is 30 September. Limited number of places! The workshop is free of charge, and renown speakers like Matthew Jackson and Bill Rossen is joining us. Below is the programme – you sign up here. Note:
Thin liquid films and capillary bridges can effectively enhance the connectivity of a porous medium, making it possible for the drainage of apparently trapped liquid clusters. This drainage due to film flow was recently characterized in a paper published in Phys. Rev. Fluids by PoreLab researcher Marcel Moura and collaborators. The experimental work has shown
Professor Peter Daivis will give a lecture about “Anisotropic heat flow in shearing fluids by molecular dynamics simulations” at PoreLab premises (Valgrinda, PTS2, 2nd floor) on Wednesday, October 2nd, at 13:00. Professor Daivis is coming from the School of Science cluster, Physics department at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. He is visiting PoreLab in Trondheim from
