Flow and Mixing in Porous Media
PMLab @ IIT Kanpur
We work on research problems related to flow and mixing in porous media in the context of energy and the environment, focusing on issues like global warming and water pollution. Of particular interest are buoyancy and density-driven flows, which we solve using analytical methods and laboratory experiments. Applications of our research are in the fields of carbon sequestration, groundwater contamination, geothermal energy and nuclear waste storage.
