Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 18th Annual InterPore Meeting – InterPore2026, which will take place 19–22 May 2026 in Nantes, France. InterPore brings together researchers from around the world working on all aspects of porous media science, including energy, climate, hydrology, materials, biology, and more.

As part of the conference, we warmly encourage you to submit an abstract to the minisymposium:

About the Minisymposium

Multiphase flow in porous media plays a crucial role in applications ranging from subsurface energy and environmental processes—such as petroleum engineering, CCUS, soil remediation, and hydrogeology—to material science applications including membranes and fuel cells.
A central scientific challenge is bridging micro- and meso-scale interfacial physics with effective properties observed at the Darcy scale.

Recent advances in high-resolution imaging and numerical modeling offer unprecedented opportunities to deepen our understanding of pore-scale transport phenomena. This minisymposium provides a platform to exchange new insights from experiments, modeling, and theoretical developments.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Flow and transport characterization across length and time scales (pore to Darcy scale), including applications in CO₂ storage, unconventional reservoirs, and groundwater remediation

  • Identification of representative elementary variables (REV) for thermodynamic integration

  • Upscaling methods linking nano-, pore-, and Darcy-scale transport for reactive, geomechanical, and multicomponent multiphase flows

  • Studies involving flexible materials, non-Newtonian fluids, and heterogeneous wettability

  • Dynamic capillarity and pore-scale displacement mechanisms

  • Effects of pore-scale heterogeneity and complex microstructures on macroscopic behavior
