To Come

The phenomenon of capillary imbibition through porous media is important both due to its applications in several disciplines as well as the involved fundamental flow physics in micro-nanoscales. In the present study, where a simple paper strip plays the role of a porous medium, we observe an extremely interesting and non-intuitive wicking or imbibition dynamics, through which we can separate water and dye particles by allowing the paper strip to come in contact with a dye solution. This result is extremely significant in the context of understanding paper-based microfluidics, and the manner in which the fundamental understanding of the capillary imbibition phenomenon in a porous medium can be used to devise a paper-based microfluidic separator.

The Media

Interest is growing in the benefits of homogeneous charge compression ignition engines. In this paper, we investigate a novel approach to the development of a homogenous charge-like environment through the use of porous media. The primary purpose of the media is to enhance the spread as well as the evaporation process of the high pressure fuel spray to achieve charge homogenization. In this paper, we show through high speed visualizations of both cold and hot spray events, how porous media interactions can give rise to greater fuel air mixing and what role system pressure and temperature plays in further enhancing this process.

To illustrate the role of Lorentz force on migration of nanopowders, CVFEM simulation has been reported in current research. The chamber contains hybrid nanomaterial and made up form porous media. Momentum equations have been modified for present paper with adding new source terms. The mentioned method works based on FEM in generation of mesh and calculation of gradient of scalars while it uses FVM approach for employing source terms. Testing with benchmark article shows the nice accuracy. Increase of permeability can enhance the speed of nanopowders and iso-temperature lines shapes become complicated. Impose of MHD creates new force against buoyancy and declines the velocity of the nanomaterial. Also, complication of isotherms declines with rise of Ha. With growth of Da, value of [Formula: see text] increases about 111% and 64.2% when [Formula: see text] and 20, respectively. Also, augment of Ha results in reduction of velocity about 30% and 47.6% when [Formula: see text] and 100. Given [Formula: see text], Nu for [Formula: see text] is 6.83 times bigger than case with [Formula: see text]. Nu decreases to about 67.28% with increase of Ha when [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. As Da increases, Nu rises about 62% when [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text].

<p>Predicting dispersal patterns is important to understand microbial life in porous media as soils and sedimentary environments. We studied active and passive dispersal of bacterial cells in porous media characterized by two main pore features: fast channels and dead-end cavities. We combined experiments with microfluidic devices and time-lapse microscopy to track individual bacterial trajectories and measure the breakthrough curves and pore scale bacterial abundance. Escherichia coli cells dispersed more efficiently than the non-motile mutants showing a different retention in the dead-end pores. Our findings highlight the role of diffusion dominated dead-end pores on the dispersal of microorganisms in porous media.</p>
