Soft and porous materials are one of the most important groups of materials used in various fields in our society. They are of paramount importance in applications ranging from civil engineering, soil mechanics , petroleum engineering, heterogeneous catalysis, artworks and cultural heritage and biological systems. The aim of this course is to introduce the physics and governing mechanisms controlling flow and transport processes of liquids, solutes and gas in porous media. Transport in porous media is governed by hydrodynamic and capillary (surface tension) forces. The associated mechanics exhibit a combination of elastic and viscous response to external stresses characteristic of soft matter systems.
Books name will be given during the course
Some scientific papers will be handed out for discussion and presentation.
At the end of the course :
- the student will understand the mechanisms involved in transport processes in porous media and will be able to work with the equations that govern the fate and transport of gas, water and solutes in porous media
-The student will be able to express and translate mechanics and hydrodynamics for a better understanding of the dynamics of transport in such materials.
-The student will learn how the self assembly of soft molecules such as surfactants and gels influence the micro structure of the resulting materials and their properties.
