Introduction
Despite the capabilities of modern multi-processor computers, it
is currently not possible to model physical processes with conventional
numerical methods at the continuum scale and at the same time respect
the constitutive laws at e.g., the atomistic scale. A new type of
multiscale mathematical methods have therefore emerged which attempt
to incorporate fine scale dynamics into the continuum models. These
methods seek reduced computational complexity compared with microstructure
models, and offer new insight into the impact of fine scale features
on the large scale dynamics.
Today, multiscale modeling and computation is one of the most active
research area in applied science. The aim of this workshop is to
discuss various approaches to mathematical modeling of physical
multiscale phenomena with weight on fluid flow and material science.
The talks will range from methodological developments to the use
of multiscale methods in specific real-world applications. An application
of special interest to the organizers is porous media flow, an area
where we believe multiscale methods have reached a stage where they
can be promoted to the industry. The final day of the workshop is
therefore devoted to multiscale methods in petroleum engineering.
The purpose is to create an arena where the Norwegian oil-industry
can meet with representatives from the international research community
working on multiscale issues of relevance for the oil-industry.
