The fabric of porous and fractured media contains solid regions (grains) and voids. The space conducting fluids is a system of connected voids with variable geometries. Relative to the grain sizes, the voids can be voluminous with three…
Single fluid porous medium systems are typically modeled at an averaged length scale termed the macroscale using Darcy's law. Standard approaches for modeling macroscale single fluid phase flow of non-Newtonian fluids extend Darcy's law,…

We address the discretization of two-phase Darcy flows in a fractured and deformable porous medium, including frictional contact between the matrix-fracture interfaces. Fractures are described as a network of planar surfaces leading to the…
We show that the clogging susceptibility and flow of particles moving through a random obstacle array can be controlled with a transverse or longitudinal ac drive. The flow rate can vary over several orders of magnitude, and we find both an…

A commonplace view of pressure-driven turbulence in pipes and channels is as "cascades" of streamwise momentum toward the viscous layer at the wall. We present in this paper an alternative picture of these flows as "inverse cascades" of…
We consider the release and subsequent gravity-driven spreading of a finite volume of fluid in an anisotropic porous medium bounded by an impermeable substrate. When the permeability in the vertical direction is much smaller than the…
Contrasting with free shear flows presenting velocity profiles with inflection points which cascade to turbulence in a relatively mild way, wall bounded flows are deprived of (inertial) instability modes at low Reynolds numbers and become…
Although steady, isotropic Darcy flows are inherently laminar and non-mixing, it is well understood that transient forcing via engineered pumping schemes can induce rapid, chaotic mixing in groundwater. In this study we explore the…
We investigate the discretization of Darcy flow through fractured porous media on general meshes. We consider a hybrid dimensional model, invoking a complex network of planar fractures. The model accounts for matrix-fracture interactions…
