Convection in porous media
Porous media are an important material in nature and industry. Convection in porous media receives a lot of attentions in recent years with the emergence of some new engineering applications, e.g., long term storage of CO2 in deep saline aquifers, thermal energy storage systems using stones/bricks as storage materials, etc. Based on deep investigation of physics, we try to develop efficient and accurate macroscopic models for predicting losses and heat/mass transfer rate in porous media (Fig. 2), see details in Jin, et al. (2015; 2017), Uth, et al. (2016), Kranzien & Jin (2018), Rao, et al. (2020) and Gasow, et al. (2020) for the details of this research. This research is funded by the DFG (408356608).
