Porous Media Flow
The flow phenomena over and through porous media have attracted significant interest for decades due to their applicability in a wide range of industrial and environmental applications. They have also been utilized as transport methods for medical and biological applications. We study the numerical modelling of porous media flows and conduct numerical simulations in order to characterize the flows over and through porous media.
