The removal of unwanted entities or soiling material from surfaces is an essential operation
in many personal, industrial, societal, and environmental applications. The use of liquid …

We examine travelling wave solutions of the Porous–Fisher model,, with a Stefan-like
condition at the moving front,. Travelling wave solutions of this model have several novel …

Evaporation within porous media is both a multiscale and interface-driven process, since the
phase change at the evaporating interfaces within the pores generates a vapour flow and …

Following the release of a chemical warfare agent, it is crucial for public health that the
affected environment is entirely decontaminated. If the agent has seeped into a porous …

We investigate how a filter-medium microstructure influences filtration performance. We
derive a theory that generalizes classical multiscale models for regular structures to account …

The decontamination of hazardous chemical agents from porous media is an important and
critical part of the clean-up operation following a chemical weapon attack. Decontamination …

In this paper, a recent one-dimensional Stefan-type model for the sorption of a finite amount
of swelling solvent in a glassy polymer is revisited, with a view to formalizing the application …

When a hazardous chemical soaks into a porous material such as a concrete floor, it can be
difficult to remove. One approach is chemical decontamination, where a cleanser is added to …

A porous material that has been contaminated with a hazardous chemical agent is typically
decontaminated by applying a cleanser solution to the surface and allowing the cleanser to …
