Adsorption of water vapor in nanoporous carbons is rather complex due to an interplay between the pore structure and surface chemistry of these materials. Deciphering the mechanism of adsorption requires the knowledge of the spatial…

Flow through porous, elastically deforming media is present in a variety of natural contexts ranging from large-scale geophysics to cellular biology. In the case of incompressible constituents, the porefluid pressure acts as a Lagrange…

Asymptotic multiple scale homogenisation allows to determine the effective behaviour of a porous medium by starting from the pore-scale description, when there is a large separation between the pore-scale and the macroscopic scale. When the…

Molecular Dynamic and Monte Carlo studies are performed in a family of core-softened (CS) potential, composed by two length scales: a repulsive shoulder at short distances and the another a variable scale, that can be repulsive or strongly…

Liquid dropout and retention in gas-condensate reservoirs, specially in the near wellbore region, obstruct gas flowing paths and impact negatively the produced fluid volume and composition. Yet, condensate banking forecasting is commonly…

Transport of viscous fluid through porous media is a direct consequence of the pore structure. Here we investigate transport through a specific class of two-dimensional porous geometries, namely those formed by fluid-mechanical erosion. We…

We consider diffusion processes in media with pockets of large diffusivity. The asymptotic behavior of such processes is described when the diffusion coefficients in the pockets tend to infinity. The limiting process is identified as a…

Many liquids have curves (isomorphs) in their phase diagrams along which structure, dynamics, and some thermodynamic quantities are invariant in reduced units. A substantial part of their phase diagrams is thus effectively one dimensional.…

We develop a mathematical model for adsorption based on averaging the flow around, and diffusion inside, adsorbent particles in a column. The model involves three coupled partial differential equations for the contaminant concentration both…

Models of porous media are often applied to relatively small systems, which leads not only to system-size-dependent results, but also to phenomena that would be absent in larger systems. Here we investigate one such finite-size effect:…
