Transport scaling in porous media convection
Xiaojue Zhu, Yifeng Fu, Marco De Paoli
We present a theory to describe the Nusselt number (), corresponding to the heat or mass flux, as a function of the Rayleigh--Darcy number (), the ratio of buoyant driving…
Towards the understanding of convective dissolution in confined porous media: thin bead pack experiments, two-dimensional direct numerical simulations and physical models
Marco De Paoli, Christopher J. Howland, Roberto Verzicco +1
We consider the process of convective dissolution in homogeneous and isotropic porous media. The flow is unstable due to the presence of a solute that induces a density difference…
Convective mixing in porous media: A review of Darcy, pore-scale and Hele-Shaw studies
Marco De Paoli
Convection-driven porous media flows are common in industrial processes and in nature. The multiscale and multiphase character of these systems and the inherent non-linear flow dyn…
Experimental assessment of mixing layer scaling laws in Rayleigh-Taylor instability
Marco De Paoli, Diego Perissutti, Cristian Marchioli +1
We assess experimentally the scaling laws that characterize the mixing region produced by the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in a confined porous medium. In particular, we wish to ass…
