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.
