Title: Leveraging Pore-Scale Physics for Enhanced Understanding of Darcy-Scale Multiphase flow and Transport through Porous Materials
Speaker: Vahid Niasar, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Manchester, UK
Date/Time: Tuesday, 30 January 2024, 4-5 pm CET
The study of multiphase flow and transport in porous media stands as a critical domain in understanding various natural and engineered systems, spanning from hydrocarbon reservoirs to fuel cells. Pore-scale modelling and experiments have emerged as indispensable tools in unravelling the fundamental mechanisms in two-phase flow and solute transport in porous media. This presentation presents an integrative approach leveraging pore-scale modelling techniques and complementary pore-scale experiments to elucidate the intricacies of two-phase flow and transport in porous media. The synergy between advanced numerical simulations and experimental observations allows for a comprehensive investigation into the dynamics of fluid-fluid displacement, capillary effects, wettability, and solute transport within the complex pore structures.
They key areas covered in this talk include capillary phenomena, single-phase and two-phase solute transport in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.
