The 5th Brazil Interpore Chapter Meeting took place in Brazil, 1-2 August 2021, totally free of charge. For more information about the 5th BR-Interpore as well as all presentations of the 20 distinguished speakers, please visit the website here: https://interpore2022br.ufrn.br/ The 5th BR-Interpore was in full virtual conference mode, keeping in mind the worldwide time zones. We had 366 participants from 19 countries around the world, 315 from Brazil and 51 from abroad (South America, USA, Europe and Asia regions), from academia and industry (professionals, graduate students, post-docs and professors).

Across the country, new groups are emerging in cooperation to seek a better understanding of a wide range of porous media systems through basic and applied research. It is well known that Brazil holds a considerable amount of the global renewable freshwater, which in turn depends on the quality of groundwater. Porous media systems also have a huge impact on energy, especially on oil recovery in the pre-salt area off the marine coast of Brazil. Therefore, the 5th BR-Interpore is a new Brazilian forum for discussing advances and disseminating knowledge for the understanding, description, and mathematical and modeling foundations of natural and industrial porous media systems.
