The InterPore Academy has now launched its first systematic and comprehensive Study Plan in Porous Media (SP-PM), as the first available organic professional development opportunity for students, scientists and practitioners focused on the modeling, design, optimization, and analysis of engineered and natural porous structures. The study plan includes online/in-person (non-graded) classes on porous media theory, numerical and data-driven methods and experimental techniques targeted to porous media applications. Each course will include frontal lectures for 12/14 hours (plus additional resources made available at the lecturerā€™s discretion). The courses will be taught at the graduate level, by renowned experts in their respective fields. The vision of the InterPore Academy Porous Media Study Plan is (i) to build the foundational and specialized knowledge needed to quantitatively study porous media in a variety of different applications, (ii) to connect the attendees directly with lecturers across different institutions and continents, and (iii) to continue fostering and building our vibrant and diverse PM community.
Foundational Courses will include:
- Fundamentals of porous media structure and characterization
- Introduction to single phase flow and transport in porous media
- Multiphase flow and transport in porous media
- Mechanics of deformable porous media
- Heat transfer in porous media
- Interfacial chemistry/geochemistry and reactive transport in porous media
- Experimental methods for flow and transport in porous media
We look forward to your participation!
