The “Skin Effect” Assessment of Chloride Ingress into Concrete Based on the Identification of Effective and Apparent Diffusivity

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
The method of assessment of the “skin effect” for chloride ingress into concrete has been proposed, based on the inverse problem for the identification of at-surface variability of chloride diffusivity under fully saturated conditions.

Drying of porous media: an algorithm to determine effective parameters

open access: yesVietnam Journal of Science, Technology and Engineering, 2022
The drying process plays an important role in various industries such as chemical engineering, food, agriculture, and construction. The drying process is a complex one due to the phenomena of heat and mass transfer, which take place simultaneously.

Persistence effects in deterministic diffusion [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2009
In systems which exhibit deterministic diffusion, the gross parameter dependence of the diffusion coefficient can often be understood in terms of random walk models. Provided the decay of correlations is fast enough, one can ignore memory effects and approximate the diffusion coefficient according to dimensional arguments. By successively including the

Computing Effective Diffusivity of Chaotic and Stochastic Flows Using Structure-Preserving Schemes [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, 2017
In this paper we study the problem of computing the effective diffusivity for a particle moving in chaotic and stochastic flows. In addition we numerically investigate the residual diffusion phenomenon in chaotic advection.

Drying of Banana Pseudo-stem Fibers: Evaluation of Kinetic Models, Effective Diffusivity, Thermodynamic Properties, and Structural Characterization

open access: yesJournal of Natural Fibers, 2022
Banana pseudo-stem fiber drying was studied in a vertical fixed-bed convective dryer (60, 75, and 90°C). Nine mathematical models were used to analyze the drying behavior and the effective moisture diffusivity, activation energy, and thermodynamic ...

The Impact of Wettability on Effective Properties of Cathode Catalyst Layer in a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell [PDF]

open access: yesHydrogen, Fuel Cell & Energy Storage, 2017
The produced liquid water in cathode catalyst layer (CCL) has significant effect on the operation of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). To investigate this effect, the transport of oxygen in CCL in the presence of immiscible liquid water is ...

Effective diffusivity of passive scalars in rotating turbulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We use direct numerical simulations to compute turbulent transport coefficients for passive scalars in turbulent rotating flows. Effective diffusion coefficients in the directions parallel and perpendicular to the rotations axis are obtained by studying ...

The effective diffusivity of ordered and freely evolving bubbly suspensions [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2018
We investigate the dispersion of a passive scalar such as the concentration of a chemical species, or temperature, in homogeneous bubbly suspensions, by determining an effective diffusivity tensor.

Multiple-scale analysis and renormalization for pre-asymptotic scalar transport [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Pre-asymptotic transport of a scalar quantity passively advected by a velocity field formed by a large-scale component superimposed to a small-scale fluctuation is investigated both analytically and by means of numerical simulations.
