SubsidieMeestersFlow-induced morphology modifications in porous multiscale systems
This project aims to understand and predict flow transport and medium evolution in porous media with morphology modifications using numerical simulations, experiments, and theoretical modeling.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Fluid flows through porous media with morphology modifications are ubiquitous across nature and industry. Examples include:
- The melting and refreezing of snow
- The migration of carbon dioxide in underground aquifers
- Phase-change materials in energy storage systems
- The formation of sea ice
Importance of Morphology Variations
A key property of media experiencing morphology variations is that the modifications of the pore structure relate to the local flow conditions. These conditions are, in turn, affected by the geometry of the porous matrix.
Challenges in Measurement and Modelling
Despite their importance and pervasiveness, measuring and modelling flow transport and medium evolution in these systems remains challenging. This is due to:
- Multiway coupling
- Multiscale nature
- Feedback mechanisms
Project Objective
The objective of this project is to shed new light on the evolution of porous multiscale systems characterised by flow-induced morphology modifications.
Research Focus
Three classes of media with increasing levels of complexity will be investigated in well-defined and controlled flow configurations:
- Porous media with phase-change
- Reactive media
- Reactive media with phase-change
Methodology
To tackle these problems, we will employ a complementary combination of:
- Numerical simulations
- Laboratory experiments
- Theoretical modelling
Multiscale Modelling Framework
We will use these findings in a multiscale modelling framework where:
- The large-scale and long-term flow behaviour is predicted by simple models
- These models are fed with the results of high-resolution numerical and laboratory experiments
Aim of the Project
This project aims at a true scientific breakthrough. We want to gain a quantitative understanding of flow transport and medium evolution in porous media with morphology modifications, unraveling a number of physical mechanisms that will allow the prediction and control of these complex systems.
