Population balance models for particulate flows in porous media:breakage and shear-induced events
Matteo Icardi, Nicodemo Di Pasquale, Eleonora Crevacore +2
Transport and particulate processes are ubiquitous in environmental, industrial and biological applications, often involving complex geometries and porous media. In this work we pr…
A Systematic Analysis of the Memory term in Coarse-Grained models: the case of the Markovian Approximation
N. Di Pasquale, T. Hudson, M. Icardi +2
The systematic development of Coarse-Grained (CG) models via the Mori-Zwanzig projector operator formalism requires the explicit description of several terms, including a determini…
Heterogeneous Multi-Rate mass transfer models in OpenFOAM
Federico Municchi, Nicodemo di Pasquale, Marco Dentz +1
We implement the Multi-Rate Mass Transfer (MRMT) model for mobile-immobile transport in porous media within the open-source finite volume library \textsc{OpenFOAM}\reg \citep{Found…
A unified description of Surface Free Energy and Surface Stress
Nicodemo Di Pasquale, Ruslan L. Davidchack
Even though the study of interfacial phenomena dates back to Laplace and was formalised by Gibbs, it appears that some concepts and relations among them are still causing some conf…
