Multiscale Flow Through Complex Nanoscale Permeable Media Across Twelve Orders of Magnitude (e.g., Nanometers to Kilometers): How Do Experimental Efforts and Models Address this Disparity in Scales.

Session ID#: 76469

Session Description:
This panel seeks to bring together experimentalists and modelers to address the challenging task of developing a cohesive description of various physical mechanisms operating across the wide array of scales, from nanometers to kilometers and from seconds to centuries, in complex porous media and in the context of the subsurface. Accurate understanding of physical mechanisms that dominate transport at each scale is the first step; however, it is crucial to ultimately understand the extent of the impact of each of these mechanisms across relevant physical scales and find effective and creative macro-scale descriptions that enable an accurate accounting of all significant parameters across the wide range of spatial and temporal scales. This session welcomes contribution from experimentalists and mathematical modelers to facilitate cross-discipline dialogue and collaboration in all areas related to flow through subsurface permeable media.
