The university has invited high school teachers for a full day of talks. Our group had the honor of presenting three engaging sessions on modeling, simulations, and interdisciplinary research and education.
The Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) was established in 1952. Its mission is to build cooperation between mathematics and the worlds of science and technology.
Many models exist to study fluid flow in fractured rocks by simplifying the fractures. We compare these models with lab experiments using detailed images and advanced simulations to see their accuracy.
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.
The Norwegian chapter of the International Society for Porous Media forms a meeting place and forum for Norwegian’s landscape of porous media research.
This paper presents a coupling between the solvers PorePy and Reaktoro to simulate reactive transport in fractured porous media
We propose a new line search algorithm for multiphysics problems with fracture deformation that efficiently computes the weights based on the fracture states.
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).
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.
This paper presents a modelling approach to simulate fracture deformation, propagation, and coalescence in porous media under anisotropic stress and fluid injection.
This paper describes a machine learning-based approach to tuning the linear solvers and their parameters during the simulation.
Our new Ph.D. student Isak Hammer went to visit TU Delft for the European geothermal PhD days 2024.
Jan Martin Nordbotten will give an invited talk at InterPore 2024 about validating computational models for carbon storage. The main theme of InterPore 2024 will be porous media and biology.
The Research Council of Norway recently announced a significant investment in a new research center on carbon capture, transport, and storage (CCS) in Norway, of which the porous media group is a proud partner. gigaCCS is a Centre for Environment-Friendly Energy Research (FME) that will develop Norway's CCS competence and contribute to the global implementation of CCS on a gigatonne scale.
This paper study the impact of fractures on the unstable displacement of viscous fingers. Particular focus is given the transition from a regime where the flow is dominated by the viscous instabilities, to a regime where the heterogeneity induced by the fractures define the flow paths.
GFZ is Germany's national research center for solid Earth sciences. Its mission is to improve our understanding of the solid earth's dynamics and create solutions for society's major problems.
