Jakub Both receives funding for four years to investigate convection and dissolution during CO2 storage. For this, he will combine lab experiments, image analysis and numerical modeling.

This paper presents a coupling between the solvers PorePy and Reaktoro to simulate reactive transport in fractured porous media

In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of elliptic variational inequalities coupled with a nonlinear ODE. Considering an elliptic equation in the domain allows us to include a fully nonlinear ODE on the contact surface which gives us new applications of frictional adhesion contact problems. 

PMG is participating at the conference on Computational Methods in Water Resources 2024 (CMWR).

Yan Li receives prestigious research support for the quest to understand how extreme ocean surface waves affect us. Such waves pose a threat to ships and infrastructure, becoming increasingly frequent and extreme due to climate changes.

The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has awarded Jan Martin Nordbotten and Kent-Andre Mardal the Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) project for the academic year 2025/2026. The project will focus on Mathematical challenges in brain mechanics.

Yan Li, an associate professor at the Department of Mathematics and Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, has been working on developing theoretical models to predict the occurrence probability of so-called “rogue waves” or “freak waves.” These waves can be approximately three times higher than the average wave height and are extremely dangerous for ships and other marine operations.

Our new Ph.D. student Isak Hammer went to visit TU Delft for the European geothermal PhD days 2024.
