3rd International Conference on Porous Media & Annual meeting

of the International Society for Porous Media

(29-31 March 2011, Bordeaux Campus, FRANCE)

The objective of the conference is to bring together porous media theoreticians, modellers, and experimentalistsfrom academia and industry and to provide a forum for exchanging ideas and expertise for advancing the porousmedia science. This includes problems around developing, producing and manufacturing porous structures,characterizing them, or analyzing flow and transport that in addition, may involve thermal, chemical and mechanicalaspects. The conference aims to cover descriptions of physical mechanisms in porous media at many differentscales ranging from the micro to the mega scale, using theoretical, numerical or experimental approaches. Allindustrial applications involving porous materials are of interest. These applications may concern manufacturedmaterials like thin and/or swelling porous materials as involved in fuel cells, paper, diapers and moistureabsorbents, textiles, agrifoodstuffs, filters, concrete, ceramics, polymer composites, detergent tablets ... Theconference will also address natural porous media such as soils, aquifers, and reservoirs as well as biologicaltissues and plants.
