We present a theoretical model describing the current transient behavior observed during electrodeposition in an opal modified electrode. As a basic unit we consider a cylindrical vessel with a porous and corrugated surface, whose radius…
In this paper we develop a model to describe the diffusion process in a porous medium. For the observed decrease in current yield, we propose other causes than difference in diffusivity, which we consider unaltered by the porous medium. The…
We investigate the chemical dissolution of porous media using a network model in which the system is represented as a series of interconnected pipes with the diameter of each segment increasing in proportion to the local reactant…
In this paper we present a mathematical model for the electrochemical deposition aimed at the production of inverse opals. The real system consists of an arrangement of sub micrometer spheres, through which the species in an electrolytic…
Based on a coarse-grained model, we carry out molecular dynamics simulations to analyze the diffusion of a small tracer particle inside a cylindrical channel whose inner wall is covered with randomly grafted short polymeric chains. We…
The current conceptual model of mineral dissolution in porous media is comprised of three dissolution patterns (wormhole, compact, and uniform) - or regimes - that develop depending on the relative dominance of flow, diffusion, and reaction…
Flow through passive porous media is typically described in terms of a linear theory relating current fluxes and driving forces, in the presence of a prescribed heterogeneous permeability. However, many porous systems such as glacial…
Molecular Dynamics simulations of water molecules in nanometre sized cylindrical channels connecting two reservoirs show that the permeation of water is very sensitive to the channel radius and to electric polarization of the embedding…
We consider the effective surface motion of a particle that freely diffuses in the bulk and intermittently binds to that surface. From an exact approach we derive various regimes of the effective surface motion characterized by physical…
The simulation of fluid flow in real, multiscale porous media remains challenging due to the complexity of nanoscale phenomena and the difficulty of developing upscaling methodologies. In this study, we introduce a multiscale filtration…
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…
The macroscopic phenomenon of filtration is the separation between suspended and liquid phases and it takes place in natural environments (e.g. groundwater, soil, hyporheic zone) and industrial systems (e.g. filtration plants,…
We develop a novel `moving capacitor' dynamic network model to simulate immiscible fluid-fluid displacement in porous media. Traditional network models approximate the pore geometry as a network of fixed resistors, directly analogous to an…
Heterogeneous nucleation on catalytic surfaces plunged into a fluid is described through a stochastic model. To generate this non-equilibrium process we assume that the turn on of a electrostatic potential triggers a complex dynamics that…
Current theories of diffusiophoresis in porous media are limited to a porous medium saturated with a valence symmetric electrolyte. A predictive model for diffusiophoresis in porous media saturated with a valence asymmetric electrolyte, or…
We present a numerical study of nonlinear electrokinetic transport in porous media, focusing on the role of heterogeneity in a porous microstructure on ion concentration polarization and over-limiting current. For simplicity, the porous…
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…
The geometry of walls forming a narrow pore may qualitatively affect the phase behaviour of the confined fluid. Specifically, the nature of condensation in nanopores formed of sinusoidally-shaped walls (with amplitude $A$ and period $P$) is…
Wet porous materials, like wet ground, moist walls, or wet cloth, are common in the real world. These materials consist of transmittable particles surrounded by liquid, where the individual particle is invisible in the macroscopic view.…
The present work is aimed to find suitable exchange conditions for saturated fluid flow in a porous medium, when a fractal microstructure is embedded in the porous matrix. Two different deterministic models are introduced and rigorously…
