Multiscale computations for flow and transport in heterogeneous porous media
Wed, Apr 16, 2008 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Tom Hou, Charles Lee Powell Professor, Caltech Abstract: Many problems of fundamental and practical importance contain multiple scale solutions. Composite materials, flow and transport in heterogeneous porous media, and turbulent flow are examples of this type.
Direct numerical simulations of these multiscale problems are extremely difficult due to the wide range of length scales in the underlying physical problems. In this talk, I describe some of our recent efforts in developing multiscale computational methods to upscale two-phase flows in strongly heterogeneous porous media. For some challenging problems with long range scale interaction arising from engineering applications, we show how to use limited global information to improve the accuracy of the multiscale method. Another important application is how to quantify uncertainty in modeling the heterogeneous random media. We show that by using a coarse multiscale model to precondition the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method, we can significantly improve the efficiency of the MCMC method in generating the probability distribution of the random media subject to some production data. Finally, we introduce a new multiscale analysis for convection dominated incompressible flow with multiscale solutions. Our multiscale analysis provides an important guideline in designing a multiscale method for computing incompressible flow with multiscale solutions.Location: Kaprielian Hall (KAP) - 209

Novel Nanoscale Materials for the National Ignition Facility
Wed, Apr 16, 2008 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Juergen Biener Nanoscale Synthesis and Characterization LaboratoryLawrence Livermore National LaboratoryLivermore, California 94550 Current designs of targets for the National Ignition Facility (NIF) require the development of novel nanoscale materials such as ultra-low density nanoporous metal foams, nanocrystalline metal and diamond films. This talk will provide an overview of the challenges and opportunities associated with the synthesis of these nanoscale materials, and discuss applications beyond NIF targets.
