In a porous rock, the spatial distribution of the pore space induces a strong heterogeneity in fluid flow rates and in the stress distribution in the rock mass. If the rock microstructure evolves through time, for example by dissolution,…

Hydrogen is a promising element for applications in new energy sources like fuel cells. One key issue for such applications is storing hydrogen. And, to improve storage capacity, understanding the interaction mechanism between hydrogen and…

Carbon dioxide (CO2) trapping in capillary networks of reservoir rocks is a pathway to long-term geological storage. At pore scale, the CO2 trapping potential depends on injection pressure, temperature, and the rock's interaction with the…

In this chapter, the physisorption of hydrogen molecules in porous materials as possible hydrogen storage systems has been reviewed. Owing to the weak interaction between H2 molecules and the adsorbent, high storage capacities are typically…

Underground hydrogen storage in saline aquifers is a potential solution for seasonal renewable energy storage. Among potential storage sites, facilities used for underground natural gas storage have advantages, including well-characterized…

Underground gas storage is a critical technology in global efforts to mitigate climate change. In particular, hydrogen storage offers a promising solution for integrating renewable energy into the power grid. When injected into the…

Hydrogen segregation to vacancies in the surface and subsurface layers of (111) and (100) surfaces of Pd is studied in the density functional theory (DFT) approach. Adsorption energies and configurations of various clusters of H atoms at…

Recent laboratory experiments on interstellar dust analogues have shown that H_2 formation on dust grain surfaces is efficient in a range of grain temperatures below 20 K. These results indicate that surface processes may account for the…

We study the effect of spatially-correlated heterogeneity on isothermal drying of porous media. We combine a minimal pore-scale model with microfluidic experiments with the same pore geometry. Our simulated drying behavior compare favorably…

Condensate banking around wellbores can significantly shorten the production from gas-condensate reservoirs. Different approaches to mitigate this issue have been proposed in the literature, among which gas injection comes out with…

The behavior of gas bubbles in porous media includes bubble nucleation and growth, migration, coalescence, and trapping. These processes are significantly affected by the pore-scale characteristics and heterogeneity of the sediment. In this…

Mineral dissolution in porous media is classically partitioned into static regimes within the Pe-Da plane, but this framework fails to capture the dissolution behavior of structurally complex rocks. Using three-dimensional micro-continuum…

Multiphase flow in porous media underpins subsurface energy and environmental technologies, including geological CO$_2$ storage and underground hydrogen storage, yet pore-scale dynamics in realistic three-dimensional materials remain…

We investigate how the existence of hydrogen molecules on grain surfaces may affect H$_2$ formation efficiency in diffuse and translucent clouds. Hydrogen molecules are able to reduce the desorption energy of H atoms on grain surfaces in…

Microorganisms often encounter strong confinement and complex hydrodynamic flows while navigating their habitats. Combining finite-element methods and stochastic simulations, we study the interplay of active transport and heterogeneous…

When a fluid carrying a passive solute flows quickly through porous media, three key macroscale transport mechanisms occur. These mechanisms are diffusion, advection and dispersion, all of which depend on the microstructure of the porous…

Adsorption in nanoporous materials is one strategy that can be used to store hydrogen at conditions of temperature and pressure that are economically viable. Adsorption capacity of nanoporous materials depends on surface area which can be…

Subduction is a crucial part of the long-term water and carbon cycling between Earth's exosphere and interior. However, there is broad disagreement over how much water and carbon is liberated from subducting slabs to the mantle wedge and…

Filters that act by adsorbing contaminant onto their pore walls will experience a decrease in porosity over time, and may eventually block. As adsorption will generally be larger towards the entrance of a filter, where the concentration of…

We study the effect of density fluctuations induced by turbulence on the HI/H$_2$ structure in photodissociation regions (PDRs) both analytically and numerically. We perform magnetohydrodynamic numerical simulations for both subsonic and…
