Computational homogenisation of soft porous materials and interfaces

Traditionally, computations on soft porous materials and interfaces are performed using simple phenomenological models. EU-funded researchers proposed modelling such media using homogenisation, where macroscopic properties are derived from microscopic ones.

Homogenisation is the process of characterising a system with a few parameters while retaining its basic characteristics. The computational counterpart of this process was at the centre of the EU-funded project MULTISCALEFSI (Multiscale fluid-solid interaction in heterogeneous materials and interfaces).
