Reactive transport in porous media refers to the intertwined processes of fluid flow, solute movement and chemical reaction within interconnected pore networks of rock or sediment. Variations in pore ...

Porous media such as concrete physically represent a spherical packing of different components -- in this case cement, rock and water. The mechanical properties of such mixtures are still difficult to ...

Flows in porous media is a research area focused on the theoretical, computational, and experimental characterization of fluid motion through heterogeneous porous structures, governed primarily by ...

What laws govern how chemicals pass through filters? How do droplets of oil move through layers of stone? How do blood cells travel through a living organism? A team of researchers has discovered how ...

Dr. Seunghak Lee, Jaeshik Chung, and Sang Hyun Kim of the Water Resources Cycle Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) observed how oil and water interact in porous ...
