Our SFB 1313 researchers participate at the 11th Annual Meeting of InterPore in Valencia. In Particular, they offer two short courses on May 6th:
SHORT COURSE #1: Introduction to DuMuX
by Bernd Flemisch, Edward Coltman, Katharina Heck, Kilian Weishaupt, Melanie Lipp, and Sina Ackermann from the University of Stuttgart, SFB 1313.
Event time: Monday, May 6, 2019
Duration: 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM
Location: TBD
Registration fee: €60 (For InterPore 2019 participants)/€90 (Short course only)
Description:
DuMuX is a free and open-source simulator for flow and transport processes in porous media. It is a C++ research code based on the Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment DUNE. Its main intention is to provide a sustainable and consistent framework for the implementation and application of porous media model concepts and constitutive relations. The development of DuMuX started in 2007 at the University of Stuttgart; version 3.0 has been released at the end of 2018.
In this short course, we will present an overview over the modeling capabilities and the structure of the code base. Presentations will be complemented by hands-on exercises. For these, participants should have some experience with a Unix shell and C++.
Participants must bring their own laptops with Docker and Paraview installed.

SHORT COURSE #2: Microfluidics: Experimental and numerical approaches of multi-phase flow and transport in porous media
by Nikolaos Karadimitriou (University of Stuttgart, SFB 1313), Ioannis Zarikos (Eindhoven University of Technology), Andreas Yiotis (National Center for Scientific Research “Demokritos”)
Event time: Monday, May 6, 2019
Duration: 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM
Location: TBD
Registration fee: €60 (For InterPore 2019 participants)/€90 (Short course only)
Description:
In this course we will cover some experimental and modelling approaches related to microfluidics, in combination with some fundamental research applications.
For the experimental part we will discuss artificial porous media and their use in microfluidic studies of multi-phase flow and transport. We will refer to the available visualization techniques based on visible light, like optical, fluorescence, and confocal microscopy, as well as micro-CT and thermal imaging for the non-visible light spectrum. Some experimental works related to two-phase flow and transport and electro-kinetic effects, which make use of the pre-mentioned principles of imaging and manufacturing of an artificial porous medium will be presented, emphasizing on the significance of the results in terms of fundamental research.
In terms of numerical modeling of two-phase flow processes, this course will first focus on the basic principles governing immiscible flow at the pore and pore-network scales. A series of state-of-the-art modeling approaches will be then presented, including the coupled Navier Stokes and Level Set/Phase field models, and the class of Lattice Boltzmann methods. We will also discuss the implementation of parallel programming and High Performance Computing principles for the development of efficient two-phase flow simulators and their application in larger scale 2D and 3D porous structures.
