| Abstract | Natural and industrial porous media is key to a wide variety of traditional and emerging engineering applications, including but not limited to oil and gas extraction from geological reservoirs, carbon capture and storage, geothermal reservoir engineering, soil sciences, groundwater remediation and protection, biological engineering, food processing, fuel cells, nano-technology, construction engineering, wood processing and printing.We are proposing the formation of a UK wide research network focussed on porous media flow which will sit at the interface between engineering, applied mathematics, applied probability and scientific computing. The overall aim of the network is to transfer techniques, models and scientific insights between engineering and mathematics, as well as promote mobility between academia and industry. Initially, the key areas of scientific research will include: large scale computational modelling, fundamental pore-scale physics, inverse problems and history matching, reservoir simulations, soil science and shallow ecosystems, theoretical biology and physiology, groundwater remediation, subsurface storage of greenhouse gases and nuclear waste, uncertainty quantification, homogenisation and multi-scale methods, visualization, numerical analysis and random field modelling | |
