1. Introduction In this work, we utilized molecular dynamics simulations to investigate gas diffusion in realistic nanoporous carbon models. We will focused on how the structure of the porous medium affects the gas diffusion. The porous structural features of interests include topological defects, dangling bonds, size and connectivity of the pores. Through a mimetic virtual synthesis routine, p...

Effects of Hall current, ion-slip and Coriolis force on unsteady MHD Couette-Hartmann flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid through a porous medium bounded by porous plates in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field which is either fixed relative to the fluid or to the moving porous plate is investigated using Laplace transform technique. The expressions for...

Single-walled carbon nanotube bundles dispersed in a highly polar fluid are found to agglomerate into a porous structure when exposed to low levels of laser radiation. The phototunable nanoscale porous structures provide an unusual way to control the acoustic properties of the suspension. Despite the high sound speed of the nanotubes, the measured speed of longitudinal-acoustic waves in the sus...

Z. Naturforsch. 54 a, 411-416 (1999); received April 19, 1999 The effects of collisions with neutral atoms on the hydromagnetic stability of the plane interface separating two streaming superposed composite plasmas of uniform densities in a porous medium are investigated. In the absence of fluid velocities, it is found, for a potentially stable configuration, that the system remains stable, whi...

Considerable research efforts have been directed in recent years towards the development of porous carriers as controlled drug delivery matrices because of possessing several features such as stable uniform porous structure, high surface area, tunable pore size and well-defined surface properties. Owing to wide range of useful properties porous carriers have been used in pharmaceuticals for man...

We consider the problem of binary image generation with given properties. This problem arises in a number of practical applications, including generation of artificial porous medium for an electrode of lithium-ion batteries, for composed materials, etc. A generated image represents a porous medium and, as such, it is subject to two sets of constraints: topological constraints on the structure a...

[1] Most existing stochastic models are developed for unimodal porous media that may be well characterized with only the first two statistical moments. However, the distribution of hydraulic properties, such as hydraulic conductivity, may possess a multiplicity of modes; thus the first two moments may not be adequate to characterize properties of such porous media. In turn, the stochastic model...

13 For solute transport in a deformable clay liner, the importance of consolidation 14 in the presence of sorption and consolidation-induced advection are well known. 15 Here a one-dimensional coupled consolidation and solute transport model for a 16 partially saturated porous medium, including the new features of finite strain and 17 geometric and material nonlinearity, is proposed. A new boun...
