Transport in Porous Media

Major research interests

• Transport in porous media
  • Imaging, reconstruction, model development and simulation
  • Application to heat and mass transfer, drying processes, electrochemical processes (e.g. water electrolysis), biofilms
• Pore-scale modelling
  • Pore network models, Lattice Boltzmann models
• Electrification of processes
  • Microwave heating (experiments and simulations)

 

Possible research projects (not exhaustive)

• Mechanical, mechano-chemical & thermal processing
  (Collaboration partners: Prof. van Wachem, Prof. Kienle)
• Modeling of biological conversion processes
