InterPore2023 Short courses

As in past years, InterPore will offer a selection of short courses as satellite events of the InterPore Annual Conference in Edinburgh, 22-25 May 2023. These short courses will take place in-person one day before and after the conference on 21 May and 26 May. The standard duration will be a half day (3-hour lecture) with topics such as Digital porous media: combining open data, flow simulation and machine learning and Pore-level flow and visualization.

The short course offerings are continually evolving. Please visit our InterPore2023 short courses page to stay up to date as courses are announced.

Fun events

In addition to the technical portions of the conference, you will find many opportunities for personal and professional development.

The Local Organizing Committee (LOC) is organizing a number of fun events, which include an Arthur’s Seat Fun Run, Distillery tour, traditional Scottish dancing, and a bagpipe concert.

In conjunction with the Student Affairs Committee (SAC), the LOC is also preparing several events and activities for students, including:

• The annual SAC Career event
• Workshops on the peer-review process
• CV development for academia and industry, public presentation skills, and successful grant writing
• Indoor climbing
• A museum & national gallery tour and a team-building activity/game at a pub.

Invited Speaker at InterPore2023

Dr Adriana Paluszny
Imperial College London, UK

Title: Finite element modelling of the growth and flow properties of multiple-scale three-dimensional fracture networks

Dr Adriana Paluszny is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Earth Science & Engineering, Imperial College London. She has a PhD in Computational Geomechanics from Imperial College London. She currently holds a Royal Society University Research Fellowship.

The generation and growth of multiple three-dimensional fractures and fluid flow through the resultant fractured rock mass is modelled by solving the displacement and flow equations numerically using the finite element method. The approach uses the Imperial College Geomechanics Toolkit, an in-house C++ 3D simulator that captures coupled thermo-poro-elastic deformation and damage accumulation, while accounting for variable fracture apertures and local transmissivities on the fracture surface, which evolve as a function of deformation. Simulations are able to capture fracture growth at different scales, and model fracture nucleation based on the evaluation of a local damage model. Quasi-static fracture growth is simulated for a number of… continue reading

Minisymposia

MS01 Combustion of produced fuels has led to the current climate and carbon problem, prompting the urgent need to transition to a low-carbon future. While renewables such as wind and solar play a major role in the energy transition, creative uses of natural and engineered porous media will be a… read more

Did you know….Edinburgh?

InterPore2023 will be in Edinburgh. Edinburgh has a lot of things to offer with respect to science, science history and porous media. This week: Hogmanay.

In Scotland, New Year’s Eve is called Hogmanay and the celebration has its origins in the wild Viking celebrations of the winter solstice. Hogmanay in Edinburgh is a unique event, celebrated with a street party, including a torchlight procession, a ceilidh (traditional Scottish music and dancing) and a spectacular firework display over the castle. If that isn’t enough, you can welcome in the new year with the Loony Dook, a bracing morning dunk in the river.
