Short Course by Majid Hassanizadeh

June 3, 2019 /

"Fundamentals of multiphase flow in porous media. From the molecular scale to the REV scale. Averaging-thermodynamic approach for development of basic equations"

From June 3 to June 4, S. Majid Hassanizadeh from Utrecht University (Netherlands) will give a short course about "Fundamentals of multiphase flow in porous media. From the molecular scale to the REV scale. Averaging-thermodynamic approach for development of basic equations". The short course ist organized by SFB 1313 and DROPIT.

June 3, 2019, 9 am – 5:30 pm:

  • From molecular to pore or grain scale; derivation of conservation equations for a single phase
  • Derivation of constitutive equations for solids (e.g., Hooke’s law of
    elasticity) and fluids (e.g., Newton’s law of viscosity) using Rational
    thermodynamic approach
  • From molecular to core scale; derivation of conservation eqs. for a
    porous medium (Averaging)


June 4, 2019, 9 am – 3:30 pm:

  • Derivation of constitutive equations for single-phase flow in a porous medium (Rational thermodynamic approach)
  • Derivation of equations for multiphase flow in a porous medium
    (Rational thermodynamics)
  • Advanced theories of two-phase flow in porous media; combining
    conservation laws and constitutive equations
