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 develop and validate a new model to study simultaneous erosion and deposition in three-dimensional porous media. We study the changes of the porous structure induced by the deposition and erosion of matter on the solid surface and find…

Stabilization schemes in wall-bounded flows often invoke fluid transpiration through porous boundaries. While these have been extensively validated for external flows, their efficacy in channels, particularly from the standpoint of…

Air-permeable porous media hosts air within their pores. Upon removal from the interior of the material, these porous media have the tendency to reabsorb air from the surrounding, acting as a suction pump. Therefore, the technique used to…

A filter comprises porous material that traps contaminants when fluid passes through under an applied pressure difference. One side-effect of this applied pressure, however, is that it compresses the filter. This changes the permeability,…
