Tortuosity is widely used as a critical parameter to predict transport properties of porous
media, such as rocks and soils. But unlike other standard microstructural properties, the …

A comprehensive literature review on the acoustical properties and characterisation
methods of sound-absorbing porous materials with a focus on the type made by a replication …

Numerical programs for simulating flow and reactive transport in porous media are essential
tools for predicting reservoir properties changes triggered by CO2 underground injection. At …

A theoretical model for the tortuosity of a fixed bed randomly packed with identical particles
has been developed. The tortuosity is found to be proportional to a packing structure factor …

Macroscopic properties of granular materials are important in modeling a variety of flow and
transport phenomena in many fields of science. Determination of these parameters has …

Abstract In this paper, Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has been used to study the effects of
permeability and tortuosity on flow through saturated particulate media and identify the …

Mobile‐immobile mass transfer is widely used to model non‐Fickian dispersion in porous
media. Nevertheless, the memory function, implemented in the sink/source term of the …

Single-phase fluid flow in porous media is usually direction dependent owing to the
tortuosity associated with the internal structures of materials that exhibit inherent anisotropy …

In an espresso-style extraction hot water (90±5° C) is driven through a coffee packed bed by
a pressure gradient to extract soluble material from the coffee matrix. Permeability is a key …

The changing hierarchical structure of the applied heterogeneous Cu/ZnO/Al 2 O 3 material
during methanol synthesis reactions hinders an efficient engineered process condition …
