Porous membranes, like nets or filters, are thin structures that allow fluid to flow through their pores. Homogenisation can be used to rigorously link the flow velocity with the stresses on the membrane via several coefficients (e.g. permeability and slip ...
Porous media are solid structures perforated by a matrix of pores, which may let a fluid flow across them. Geometrically, we can classify them as "thin" if their thickness is comparable with the size of their pores, and "bulk" otherwise. These structures c ...
Porous membranes are thin solid structures that allow the flow to pass through their tiny openings, called pores. Flow inertia may play a significant role in several filtration flows of natural and engineering interest. Here, we develop a predictive macros ...
Janus membranes, thin permeable structures with chemical and geometrical asymmetric properties, show great potential in industrial separation processes. Yet the link between the micro- and macro-scale behaviours of these membranes needs to be established r ...
