Detachment mechanism and reduced evaporation of an evaporative NaCl salt crust [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Salt crusts forming at the surface of a porous medium are commonly observed in nature as well as on building materials and pieces of our cultural heritage where they represent a risk for the supporting substrate integrity.

Multi-scale study of diffusion in composite grain–pore systems based on particles random walk
Comptes Rendus. Mécanique, 2021 This paper studies diffusion processes at different scales in two-dimensional (2D) composite media (grain–pore porous micromodels). To model diffusion, this study uses the random walk particle tracking (RWPT) method based on 2D analytical solutions in ...
