Short Courses on Advanced Porous Media Topics (University of Bergen)

The Porous Media Group at the University of Bergen is organizing a series of short courses to be held online over the next six months, titled “Mathematics of Porous Media”. The series consists of six short courses, each 3 times 2 hours, and will be held regularly every Friday 14:00-16:00 CET, starting in two weeks on 30 October.

Their webpage will be updated regularly. The tentative schedule is as follows:

30.10: Introduction to the mathematics of porous media Jan Martin Nordbotten, University of Bergen

06.11 – 20.11: Porous media-free flow coupling Rainer Helmig, Stuttgart University / University of Bergen

27.11 – 11.12: Homogenization for porous media Sorin Pop, Hasselt University / University of Bergen

January 2021: Brain modelling: from MR images to finite element simulation Marie Rognes, Simula / University of Bergen

February 2021: Fracture reactivation and propagation in deforming porous media Inga Berre, University of Bergen

March 2021: Multigrid solvers for heterogeneous coefficients Xiaozhe Hu, Tufts University / University of Bergen

April 2021: Contact mechanics and variational inequalities Barbara Wohlmuth, Technical University of Munich / University of Bergen

How to sign up

The lectures are aimed at the graduate level and are open to anyone interested. In order to allow for direct student participation and in respect of various privacy laws, the lectures will be “live only” on Zoom, and no recording will be published. For this to work smoothly, we require that participants sign up in advance by sending an e-mail to Eirik Keilegavlen, with name, institution and email address. The email should be linked to the Zoom account you will use to access the meeting. Login information for the individual lectures will be sent out no later than lunchtime at the Friday of the lecture.
