报告简介:

In nature and synthetic porous materials, various forms of heterogeneity can be observed and are shown to determine the multiphase interactions in the pore space. Here, we will discuss the combined effects of wettability and structural heterogeneities, with a special emphasis on materials with hierarchical structures. Examples include electrode materials in batteries, fibrous membranes in PEM fuel cells, and fractured rocks in geothermal extraction, which are generally composed of two components with distinct characteristic length scales. To this end, we utilise numerical models to capture the interface dynamics and to model the fluid displacement processes in porous materials with variable pore structure and sizes. We emphasise the following aspects: how such heterogeneous pore structures influence fluid-fluid displacement, and most importantly, to what extent the immiscible fingering can be suppressed and controlled through tailored design of microstructure. To characterise fingering dynamics in heterogeneous porous materials, we provide phase diagrams unifying the coupled contributions from pore structure, wettability and flow conditions. The present study provides an alternative mechanism for controlling the temporal and spatial distribution of fluid phases within porous materials for specific applications, e.g., increased drainage efficiency, or enhanced chemical reaction rate.
