When
and Where
Organized by
the Macsinet Working Group “ Filtration problems in porous media and paper
manufacturing” at
Fraunhofer ITWM, Kaiserslautern, Germany on 22 and 23 November 2002.
Introduction:
Among the
needs of industry with respect to industrial mathematics in these fields
are:
- dealing with multiple scales, upscaling the properties of the media
(such as permeability, mechanical properties of porous media, etc.), etc.;
- investigation of strongly coupled processes (e.g. flow in deformable
porous media, coupled flow in plain and porous media, influence of humidity
on mechanical properties of porous materials) etc.;
- identification of parameters and constitutive relations for flows in
porous media;
- models, algorithms and software for multiphase flows in porous media,
non-Newtonian flow in porous media, etc.
- virtual material design;
- etc.
In all of
the above areas certain mathematical investigations are carried out. The
kick-off meeting of WG 14 reviewed the state of the art in some of these
areas, as well as the needs in further developments. The planned workshop
on Nov.22-23, 2002 in Kaiserslautern aims at further deep discussions
in some of the specified areas, such as
- homogenization and other upscaling mathematical theories, and their
applications to industrial needs;
- models and algorithms for flow in deformable porous media, mainly with
applications to paper industry;
- models and algorithms for multiphase and non-Newtonian flows, their
applications in paper industry, in liquid polymer injection, etc.;
- microstructure simulation and virtual material design, etc.
Participation
of industrial partners will help to better understand what are their needs
and expectations, as well as to present for them some recent achievement
of the industrial mathematics in the above fields.
The planned
workshop should demonstrate that after the successful kick-off meeting,
MACSI-Net WG-14 is stated in an working regime; the contacts between industry
and academics are further extended; the collaboration between the members
of the group and other experts in the field is actively developed. By
such workshops and related activities, WG-14 aims at establishing its
position as one of the leading European centres, where the mathematical
treatment of filtration in porous media and paper manufacturing meets
the needs of related industries

Part III. Discussions
goals:
All kind of filtrations (water, air, oil, etc.) , manufacturing
of many kinds of porous materials (paper, fleeces, foams, etc.),
as well as many other technologies, try to benefit from mathematical
modelling. Modeling based on engineering approaches reached its
limit in many of these processes, and further improvements are expected
on the base of more careful mathematical considerations.
