According to the new ranking of mathematics scientists published by Research.com, MOX Director Alfio Quarteroni is #48 in world Ranking and #1 in national ranking. This ranking places him amongst the top ten numerical analysts of the present time. https://research.com/scientists-rankings/mathematics
On Thursday February 10, 2022 Prof. Ron Kenett, Chairman of the KPA Group, Senior Research Fellow, the Samuel Neaman Institute, Technion, Haifa and Research Professor at the University of Turin in Italy, has delivered a MOX Colloquium entitled “Topics on Digital twins: Hybrid modeling, befitting cross validation and dynamical systems”. […]
A new MOX report entitled “Reduced order modeling of nonlinear microstructures through Proper Orthogonal Decomposition” by Giorgio Gobat, Andrea Opreni, Stefania Fresca, Andrea Manzoni and Attilio Frangi has appeared in the MOX Report Collection. The report can be donwloaded at the following link: https://www.mate.polimi.it/biblioteca/add/qmox/08-2022.pdf Abstract: We apply the Proper […]
The discovery of oil and gas fields is the main goal of seismic exploration. Actually, most of today’s industrial activities still rely on hydrocarbons. However, oil exploration is an expensive, high-risk operation, and the oil companies want to be sure that it is worth drilling a new oil well. Thus, […]
Sedimentary basins are among the best places to find petroleum and natural gas and to store nuclear waste material. The history of the basin has a deep impact on the characteristic of the oil generated: the evolution and the temperature of the sediments determine localization, quantity and quality of the […]
In recent years, geostatistics has assumed a key role in modeling and predicting geophysical variables. The main goal of geostatistics is to provide methodologies able to describe and forecast quantitative variables distributed over space, or space-time.The focus of the project is posed on the geostatistical modeling and prediction of complex […]
Subsurface flows are strongly influenced by the presence of fractures. While small and micro-fractures can be easily accounted for by means of upscaling techniques, large fractures and faults play a more complex role, acting as paths or barriers for the flow. These effects are very relevant for many applications such […]
Plate tectonics is a theory that describes the evolution of Earth’s lithosphere. The lithosphere is broken up in a set of regions called plates moving on the fluid-like asthenosphere; due to this motions earthquakes, volcanic activity and orogeny occur along plates boundaries. The relative motions of plates determine the type […]
