Flow-induced morphology modifications in porous multiscale systems
Fluid flows through porous media with morphology modifications are ubiquitous across nature and industry, from the melting and refreezing of snow to the migration of carbon dioxide in underground aquifers, from phase-change materials in energy storage systems to the formation of sea ice. A key property of media experiencing morphology variations is that the modifications of the pore structure relate to the local flow conditions, which in turn are affected by the geometry of the porous matrix. Despite their importance and pervasiveness, measuring and modelling flow transport and medium evolution in these systems remains challenging, due to the multiway coupling, multiscale nature and…
