Critical entry pressure of a droplet pinning over multitude of pore openings

A Salama - Physics of Fluids, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
Porous membranes filter by the virtue of their pore sizes in relation to the sizes of dispersals.
While this is essentially true for solid dispersals, it needs to be reframed when dispersals are …

A locally and globally phase-wise mass conservative numerical algorithm for the two-phase immiscible flow problems in porous media

X Fan, A Salama, S Sun - Computers and Geotechnics, 2020 - Elsevier
In this work, we introduce a novel numerical method to solve the problem of two-phase
immiscible flow in porous media that is conservative to both phases. In the widely used …

A one-dimensional semi-implicit finite volume modeling of non-inertia wave through rockfill dams

P Sarkhosh, A Salama, YC Jin - Journal of Hydroinformatics, 2020 - iwaponline.com
For hydraulic routing through coarse rockfill dams, there is still debate on whether the inertia
terms might be neglected as a result of the drag force generated by the rock materials. In this …

A unified, one fluid model for the drag of fluid and solid dispersals by permeate flux towards a membrane surface

A Salama, S Sun, T Zhang - Membranes, 2021 - mdpi.com
The drag of dispersals towards a membrane surface is a consequence of the filtration
process. It also represents the first step towards the development of the problem of fouling. In …
