The dynamics of viscous thin-film particle-laden flows down inclined surfaces are commonly modeled with one of two approaches: a diffusive flux model or a suspension balance model. The diffusive flux model assumes that the particles migrate…
In this work we present a new conceptual model to describe fluid flow in a porous media system in presence of a large fault. Geological faults are often modeled simply as interfaces in the rock matrix, but they are complex structure where…

Phase transitions are in the focus of the modeling of multiphase flows. A large number of models is available to describe such processes. We consider several different two phase models that are based on the Euler equations of compressible…

A wide range of natural and industrial processes involve heat and mass transport in porous media. In some important cases the transported substance may undergo phase change, e.g. from liquid to solid and vice versa in the case of freezing…
Excess pore pressure in granular--fluid mixtures can transiently suppress frictional contacts and dramatically enhance flow mobility, yet its evolution is commonly modeled using constant effective diffusivities. Here we show that the…

A vibrational model of transport properties of dense fluids assumes that solid-like oscillations of atoms around their temporary equilibrium positions dominate the dynamical picture. The temporary equilibrium positions of atoms do not form…
