InterPore UK Meetings – 3rd InterPore Meeting and 1st PREFRAC

The third conference and annual meeting of the UK chapter of the InterPore and the 1st Monash-Warwick PREFRAC Workshop on Hydraulic Fracturing took place on 4th-5th of September 2017 at the University of Warwick.

The conference was an excellent opportunity to meet the community people, comprising high-quality research papers and poster presentations and invited speakers from diverse disciplines, focusing on porous media and their characterization at different physical scales.

The meeting addressed general themes related to the field of Porous Media and covered different theoretical and experimental topics of the field including fundamental and applied aspects.
