Review of the VKI Doctoral Research 2009-2010 - Free download
€1.00These proceedings aim at giving a snapshot of the research done at the time of the Symposium. Its content is not reviewed by an editorial board and is the property and responsibility of the candidates and their supervisory teams. The idea is to encourage all candidates to write papers on their research even if this research is still under development or if the associated results are only partial. The goal is to train on communication at the best level possible and to offer a yearly compilation of the research accomplished at the Phd level. Learn More -

€0.00The fifth symposium on the doctoral research of the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics took place during the period March 10 to 12, 2014. The doctoral students have presented the progress of their research work carried out in the three departments: Aeronautics and Aerospace, Environmental and Applied Fluid Dynamics, Turbomachinery and Propulsion. The first year students have presented a poster on their research plans and some preliminary results, while the most advanced students have proposed a presentation followed by a session of questions.

Modeling and application of transport phenomena in porous media - article pay-per-view - 25€ / article
€0.00Transport phenomena in porous media are very important in a wide range of applications including chemical and nuclear industries, oil recovery, civil engineering and energy related problems. The objectives of this lecture series was to present a methodology for developing well posed mathematical models of transport in porous media and to give examples of recent advances in modeling transport phenomena of special interest. In the first session, modeling based on a continuum approach involving multiple extensive quantities and multiple media was introduced. Representative elementary volume and averaging definitions lead to the derivation of microscopic balance equations. The following session was devoted to the provision of information on the structural features of porous media. Stochastic descriptions of the properties of porous media, homogeneity and heterogeneity were presented. Simulation of the random structure of porous media was discussed. Succeeding lectures showed how the understanding of phenomena at pore level permits the derivation of the general macroscopic balance equations of mass, momentum and energy in porous media. Emphasis was placed on the complete model with discussion of the problem of initial and boundary conditions. Several lectures were devoted to the modeling of multiphase flow in porous media; wettability, capillarity and hyneresis phenomena were considered; the relative permeability concept was introduced. The last session was assigned to the presentation of typical applications especially in connection with groundwater flow and pollution of aquifer, boiling and dryout problematics in liquid saturated self heated particulate beds, drying processes and spatial heat transport systems based on thermal capillary pumping.
