Towards improved understanding of spontaneous imbibition into dry porous media using pore-scale direct numerical simulations
Luka Malenica, Zhidong Zhang, Ueli Angst
Traditional approaches to mathematically describe spontaneous imbibition are usually based on either macro-scale models, such as Richards equation, or simplified pore-scale models,…
Three-dimensional characterization of the steel-concrete interface by FIB-SEM nanotomography
Nicolas Ruffray, Ueli M. Angst, Thilo Schmid +2
While it is widely accepted that the steel-concrete interface (SCI) plays an important role in governing the long-term durability of reinforced concrete structures, understanding a…
Barocaloric thermal batteries
Zhe Zhang, Kuo Li, Shangchao Lin +21
Nowadays the world is facing a prominent paradox regarding thermal energy. The production of heat accounts for more than 50% of global final energy consumption while the waste heat…
Determination of water permeability for cementitious materials with minimized batch effect
Zhidong Zhang, George Scherer
Values of water permeability for cementitious materials reported in the literature show a large scatter. This is partially attributed to the fact that materials used in different s…
