Interests

  • Nonlinear (multi-scale) partial differential systems (arising in fluid dynamics and evolving microstructures): Weak solvability, regularity, boundedness, etc.
  • Degenerating parabolic equations: Existence of weak solutions by regularization
  • Mathematical modeling of biological processes (biofilms, chemotaxis, etc.) in evolving microstructures: Homogenization in a level-set framework
  • Numerical analysis of nonlinear (multi-scale) PDE systems: (Upwind, mixed) finite element methods

Multiscale modeling with evolving microstructure: An approach to emergence in the rhizosphere via effective soil functions

Term: 01.02.2019 - 31.01.2022
Funding source: DFG / Schwerpunktprogramm (SPP)
Project leader: ,

The self-organization of the aggregates in the rhizosphere by variousattracting forces influenced by geochemistry, and microbiology shallbe studied by a novel, comprehensive model. This model shouldaccount for processes on the microscale (single roots, pore scale),and then be upscaled to the root system scale (macroscale) bymathematical homogenization. This goal exceeds the functional rangeof existing models for aggregation and needs the introduction of anexplicit phase of mucilage, and attachme…
