Morphology and Transport Characterization of Catalyst Layers for CO2 Reduction

Gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) help to reduce transport limitations in devices for electrochemical CO2 reduction. Homogenized modeling of such devices requires input of morphological characteristics and effective transport properties of the porous structu ...

Visualization and modelling of dynamic flow in fibrous preforms for liquid composite molding

Helena Luisa Teixido Pedarros

Nowadays, Liquid Composite Molding techniques are often used to manufacture high quality fiber reinforced composite parts at a relatively low cost. These involve an infiltration process, in which a liquid resin is forced to ingress into a dry fibrous porou ...

Low-Temperature Dynamics of Water Confined in Unidirectional Hydrophilic Zeolite Nanopores

Livia Eleonora Bove Kado, Umbertoluca Ranieri, Maria Rescigno

The dynamical properties of water molecules confinedin the unidirectionalhydrophilic nanopores of AlPO4-54 are investigated withquasi-elastic neutron scattering as a function of temperature downto 118 K. AlPO4-54 has among the largest pores known foralumin ...

On predicting pore fluid pressure changes in unsaturated porous media subject to undrained processes

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Angelica Tuttolomondo

Predicting the induced change of fluid pressure in an unsaturated porous medium during undrained loading/unloading processes is challenging because two different fluids (a liquid and a gaseous solution) and a mixture of solid particles are involved. The re ...

On the effect of a penetrating recirculation region on the bifurcations of the flow past a permeable sphere

François Gallaire, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Giuseppe Antonio Zampogna, Matteo Ciuti

We study the flow past a permeable sphere modeled using homogenization theory. The flow through the porous medium is described by the Darcy law, in which the permeability quantifies the resistance for the fluid to pass through the microstructure. A slip co ...

Numerical characterization and engineering of transport in morphologically complex heterogeneous media

Xiaoyu Dai

A multi-scale numerical methodology for the assessment of radiation and optical characteristics of complex structured soot-contaminated snow layers was investigated first. The methodology accounted for the exact morphology at the various scales and utilize ...

Mixing and diffusion for rough shear flows

Maria Colombo, Klaus Martin Widmayer

This article addresses mixing and diffusion properties of passive scalars advected by rough (

C^\alpha

) shear flows. We show that in general, one cannot expect a rough shear flow to increase the rate of inviscid mixing to more than that of a smooth shear ...

Permeability and capillary effects in a channel-wise non-crimp fabric

Véronique Michaud, Damiano Salvatori, Baris Çaglar, Helena Luisa Teixido Pedarros

Flow properties are investigated for a non-crimp glass fabric with large meso-channels designed for high-permeability, as compared to glass twill woven fabric. Saturated and unsaturated permeability are measured through in-plane, unidirectional, constant-p ...

Impact of CO2 injection on the hydro-mechanical behaviour of a clay-rich caprock

Lyesse Laloui, Valentina Favero

The safe storage of CO2 in deep reservoir units requires an efficient sealing of the overlaying caprock. The acidic environment caused by the dissolution of CO2 into the pore fluid can induce changes in the microstructure of the material over the long term ...

A discontinuous Galerkin reduced basis numerical homogenization method for fluid flow in porous media

Assyr Abdulle, Ondrej Budác

We present a new conservative multiscale method for Stokes flow in heterogeneous porous media. The method couples a discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DG-FEM) at the macroscopic scale for the solution of an effective Darcy equation with a Stokes ...
