Filtration problems in porous media and paper manufacturing
[ back to 'working groups' ]

 
Themes:
We consider computational and theoretical modeling of filtration problems in porous media in a wide aspect. We will in particular focus on problems where a multiple numbers of length and time scales are present. Therefore, a major tool that will be used and further developed is the mathematical theory of homogenization. Our activities will include:
  • Further development of double porosity models.
  • Simulation of humidity distribution in the paper, without or with deformation of the paper.
  • Development of algorithms and software for auxiliary problems, arising in homogenization of mechanical properties of paper
  • Theoretical investigation of and modeling of multiphase flow in porous media. Homogenization theory is not yet so well developed in this area. Starting from the two-phase Navier-Stokes equation at microlevel.

The Working Group aims at meetings for regular exchange of results and developments at the technical level, but also wants to keep an eye on trends in technology, the increasing interaction between different processes, processes at higher frequencies and different timescales, its impacts on modelling and requirements for simulation tools. Additionally the Working Group is directed towards cooperation on a European level between universities and industry.
