Description:
This workshop will focus on the modeling and simulation of problems which arise in the petroleum and mining industry. Some examples include oil and gas reservoir diagenesis and dynamics, enhanced oil recovery, well formation dynamics, spacing of uranium roll front deposits, heap leaching of minerals, etc. Many problems of this sort require a careful understanding of the coupling of reaction, transport and mechanical effects. Numerical models of "real-life" versions of these problems are quite large and quite stiff requiring the use of hybrid methods, adaptive and multigridding and of large platforms. In this workshop we shall bring together participants from academia and industry to discuss the modeling, analysis and simulation of such problems.
