How the Chemical Vapor Infiltration process can be optimized for the production of advanced composite and porous ceramics Chemical Vapor Infiltration (CVI) is a specific materials processing technique allowing the insertion of a refractory material inside a porous medium at temperatures well below its melting point. It… Author read more
Discrete models, continuum models and scale transitions for drying porous media Drying is of great practical importance but difficult to understand and describe, owed to transport phenomena in three different, complexly intermingled phases (solid skeleton, liquid-filled pores,… Author read more
The role of pores for water transport in plants Water transport in plants is tightly associated with growth, primary productivity, plant performance, and various physiological processes in plants, such as transport of photosynthetic products. In… Author read more
Digital Workflow for analysis of flow on the pore scale. Fluid transport in subsurface reservoirs is a key element to some of our main technical and environmental challenges we face today. Flow in reservoirs is flow in porous media and needs to be treated… Author read more
Transport of chemotactic bacteria in porous media with residual sources of oil-phase chemical pollutants The removal of hydrocarbon contaminants from groundwater aquifers is particularly challenging due to their low solubility and the entrapment of residual oil-phase ganglia in layers with low… Author read more
Breakthrough curve Application At an aquifer scale, test materials, e.g., unreactive solute tracers, are injected into subsurface media through injection wells and the resultant plume is monitored through observation… Author read more
Deformable porous media In a porous medium, fluid flow is driven by a decreasing pore pressure in the direction of flow, as described by Darcy’s law. A deformable porous medium is one in which the solid skeleton deforms in… Author read more
Modelling the brain as a poroelastic medium At the organ-level and at the time scale of seconds to weeks, the brain can be viewed as a poroelastic medium. Brain tissue is soft and elastic, and permeated by a number of networks filled with… Author read more
Superhot Geothermal Resources "Superhot" or "supercritical" geothermal resources contain aqueous fluids at temperatures in excess of the critical temperature of water (374°C). Such conditions are encountered just above the magma… Author read more
Evaporation from porous media Drying of porous media is ubiquitous in various hydrologic and engineering processes ranging from evaporation from terrestrial surfaces to drying of food, building materials, pharmaceutical products… Author read more
