Academic Groups
InterPore, the International Society for Porous Media, is a non-profit independent scientific organization established in 2008. We are a young and quickly growing community with members from academia and industry world-wide. Our general aim is to advance and disseminate knowledge for understanding, describing, and modeling natural and industrial porous media systems. The International Society of Multiphysics acts as a focus for studies, which demand simultaneous addressing of hitherto separate physical disciplines and combining them to generate relational mathematical models and validate them with controlled experiments to enhance the understanding of natural behavior with a view to improving the quality of lives and promote an environmentally sustainable future. Industrial use of multiphysics simulations is a diverse and challenging topic. The main driving force is the need for more realistic numerical simulations of coupled problems, combined with the continuing improvements in hardware and software. The NAFEMS multiphysics working group (MPWG) has been set up to promote and support the use of multiphysics simulations in industry. The Advanced Porous Materials Association was founded in 2017. Following the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) development of the EBC Annex 65 document that focused on Super Insulation Materials, it had become apparent that there existed a growing area of interest in the potential of advanced porous materials. Consequently, a group of leading manufacturers agreed to create a global professional association to encourage dialogue and interaction between manufacturers, resellers, researchers and other professionals interested in or concerned with this exciting field. The IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques publishes papers related to a broad range of electromagnetic engineering problems that rely on theoretical developments and computational techniques to solve problems spanning different physical properties or scales. Papers shall describe or use multiphysics and multiscale modeling in physics and electromagnetic engineering, including the calculation of system behavior on one scale using information or models derived from a different scale. Papers describing numerical inversion methods, parallel processing methods, high-order basis functions, and other advanced mathematical or numerical methods to perform multiphysics co-simulations for applied problems are published. The CCR and Sandia have a long and distinguished history of leadership in computational science and engineering, including massively parallel computation, uncertainty quantification, mathematical optimization, scalable solvers, software toolkits, and scientific software engineering, to name a few. The CCR stewards, leverages, and extends these capabilities to remain responsive to Sandia's immediate mission needs. At the same time, CCR anticipates and pursues mathematical and computational technologies that may have an impact on future mission needs.
We invite you to join this young and vibrant Society and widen your horizons when it comes to porous media research. Join hands with hundreds of other researchers in promoting porous media science and technology. Increase your professional opportunities and/or the applicability of your research by learning about a very wide range of various porous media applications.
