Title: An inverse problem arising in flow of particles and water in a porous medium

Date: Nov. 20th, 2007

Time: 4:10-5:00pm

Abstract: The flow of particles in water that are retained in a porous medium

is described by a very simple system of conservation laws, which involves an

empirical function that can only be measured indirectly. We solve the inverse

problem of determining the so called filtration function, by means of a functional

equation. This has an important application in secondary oil recovery.
