Transport in Porous Media, 2022 AbstractConnectivity and connectedness are nonadditive geometric functionals on the set of pore scale structures. They determine transport of mass, volume or momentum in porous media, because without connectivity there cannot be transport. Percolativity of porous media is introduced here as a geometric descriptor of connectivity, that can be computed ...

Porous materials in building energy technologies—a review of the applications, modelling and experiments [PDF]
, 2018 Improving energy efficiency in buildings is central to achieving the goals set by Paris agreement in 2015, as it reduces the energy consumption and consequently the emission of greenhouse gases without jeopardising human comfort.

The Influence of Micro-Fractures on the Flow in Tight Oil Reservoirs Based on Pore-Network Models
Energies, 2019 In this paper, the influence of micro-fractures on the flow of tight reservoirs is studied on the microscopic scale. Three-dimensional digital cores of fractured tight sandstone with varying fracture apertures, lengths, and dip angles are constructed ...

Analysis of Thermal Performances in a Ventilated Room Using LBM-MRT: Effect of a Porous Separation
Computation, 2022 This article demonstrates the feasibility of porous separation on the performance of displacement ventilation in a rectangular enclosure. A jet of fresh air enters the cavity through an opening at the bottom of the left wall and exits through an opening ...

Adjoint-based topology optimization of filter structures for gas–particle systems
AIP Advances, 2021 Conventional filters for aerosol particle deposition consist of one or more filter layers, which are either woven or composed of tangled fibers. The quality of the separation results almost exclusively from the density of the fiber arrangement.

Chaotic Advection at the Pore Scale: Mechanisms, Upscaling and Implications for Macroscopic Transport [PDF]
, 2016 The macroscopic spreading and mixing of solute plumes in saturated porous media is ultimately controlled by processes operating at the pore scale. Whilst the conventional picture of pore-scale mechanical dispersion and molecular diffusion leading to ...

A two-pressure model for slightly compressible single phase flow in bi-structured porous media [PDF]
, 2012 Problems involving flow in porous media are ubiquitous in many natural and engineered systems. Mathematical modeling of such systems often relies on homogenization of pore-scale equations and macroscale continuum descriptions.
