Upscaling of Multiphysical Transport in Porous Media: Advancements in Analytical, Numerical, Data-Driven, and Symbolic Computational Methods for Scale Translation
Session ID#: 248352
Session Description:
Flow and reactive transport in porous media are inherently multi-physical, multiscale processes that involve multiphase flows, homogeneous and heterogenous biogeochemical reactions, matrix alterations due to precipitation and dissolution, etc. While physico-chemical processes are better understood at fine scales, models for predicting system responses at coarse scales (e.g., lab to reservoir scale) are often desired. However, developing predictive models that account for the complexity of flow and transport in porous media across scales has proven to be an elusive task, as the traversed spatiotemporal scales often span 9-10 orders of magnitude. This session invites recent contributions to analytical, numerical, data-driven, and symbolic computational upscaling approaches in applications relevant to subsurface flow and transport including---but not limited to---CO2 sequestration, methane and H2 storage, contaminant transport in aquifers, and the hyporheic zone. Approaches that connect the continuum scale to molecular dynamic and quantum mechanical simulations are also welcome.
