Workshop on Lattice-Boltzmann Modeling
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:
Deadline extended to Sept 30th for the InterPore workshop in Stavanger
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:
New article from Marcel Moura et al. on “Connectivity enhancement due to film flow in porous media”
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
Collection of Disks Mimics Earthquakes: “Continuously sheared granular matter reproduces in detail seismicity laws
A 2D array of disks under stress replicates several statistical features of seismic phenomena. This is an interesting reading by S. Lherminier, R. Planet, V. Levy dit Vehl, G. Simon, L. Vanel, K.J. Måløy and O. Ramos on how 2D disks under stress mimic earthquakes. This article is published in PRL, featured in Focus on

Alex Hansen, Jonas Kjellstadli and Srutarshi Pradhan talk about concret in Gemini
Read the last research news from PoreLab in Gemini here. Det som ikke sprekker dem, gjør dem sterkere Noen materialer blir sterkere når de utsettes for påkjenninger. Men alt bryter sammen til slutt. Hvorfor er det sånn? Og når gir materialene etter likevel? Illustrasjon: Shutterstock, NTB Scanpix Av Steinar Brandslet Publisert 23.09.19 Det høres litt
