Journal of Multiscale Modelling

Call for Papers

Transport in porous media has attracted more and more attention due to its multidisciplinary applications in oil and gas developments, sustainable energy systems, chemical engineering, and biomedical systems. The multiscale feature is natural in transport in porous media, especially in unconventional oil and gas, new nanomaterials, and hierarchical structures in lungs or blood vessels, where transport in very tiny spaces plays significant roles for the whole system, which in principle may not be described by continuum theories. Multiscale modelling is essential in fundamental mechanisms and has industrial applications. This special issue aims to bring together researchers in these fields to highlight the current developments of multiscale modelling algorithms and their applications for a deeper understanding of transport in porous media. We invite investigators to contribute to this special issue with original research articles as well as comprehensive review articles addressing the recent advances and/or challenges in mechanism analysis, mathematical and numerical algorithms, and engineering applications using multiscale modelling. Only the most influential work will be considered in this special issue.

Potential topics of this special issue primarily include, but are not limited to:

• Numerical methods for flow simulation at different scales and coupling algorithms
• Upscaling methods for specific applications of porous media
• Hybrid algorithms for transport at multiple scales
