Description
The Research Center of Multiphase Flow in Porous Media (Center for Short) has established itself as a leading institution in multiphase flow in porous media. Its foundation is closely tied to the journey of Professor Jun Yao. His academic path, culminating in a Ph.D., led him to focus on oil and gas flow in reservoirs, driven by a fascination with the complex flow phenomena in subsurface reservoirs and a belief in its potential to revolutionize recovery efficiency.
The center's development has progressed through distinct phases. It embarked on its journey (1990-1999) marked by excellence in well test analysis and software development. The following decade (2000-2009) was a period of consolidating research directions. During this decade, research focused on digital rock modeling, fractured-vuggy and unconventional reservoir simulation, and well-test analysis, etc. This groundwork paved the way for the next stage (2010-2019), which witnessed the systematic construction of a modern theoretical framework for oil and gas flow in the porous media, significantly elevating the center's reputation. Since 2020, the center has been advancing into frontiers such as extreme flow mechanics and actively strengthening the integration of flow science with artificial intelligence.
Integrating scientific research with education, the center has seamlessly cultivated outstanding talent. Its principal achievements include the development of widely applied professional software, authoritative textbooks and monographs, and groundbreaking theoretical and technological breakthroughs in areas like digital rock and fractured reservoir modeling. These contributions have been recognized with prestigious Chinese national awards and have provided crucial theoretical and technical support for enhancing oil and gas recovery in China, ensuring the center remains at the forefront of its field. Prof. Jun Yao is one of the few scholars in the world recognized by both SPE Honorary Membership and the InterPore Lifetime Achievement Medal.
