Soil salinization refers to the accumulation of water‐soluble salts in the upper part of the soil
profile. Excessive levels of soil salinity affects crop production, soil health, and ecosystem …

This paper reviews the state-of-the-art knowledge gained from experimental and theoretical
investigations on salt precipitation in the context of CO 2 storage in saline aquifers. Included …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

Over the past two decades percolation theory has been used to explain and model a wide
variety of phenomena that are of industrial and scientific importance. Examples include …

Many bacteria on earth exist in surface-attached communities known as biofilms. These films
are responsible for manifold problems, including hospital-acquired infections and biofouling …

Capillary number, understood as the ratio of viscous force to capillary force, is one of the
most important parameters in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). It continues to attract the interest …

Evaporative drying of porous media is jointly controlled by external (atmospheric) conditions
and by media internal transport properties. Effects of different atmospheric potential …

In an effort to develop methods based on integrating the subsurface to the atmospheric
boundary layer to estimate evaporation, we developed a model based on the coupling of …

As pointed out in several previous works, thick liquid film flow can represent a major
transport mechanism in drying. The effect of films is to greatly reduce the drying time …

We study the periods that develop in the drying of capillary porous media, particularly the
constant rate (CRP) and the falling rate (FRP) periods. Drying is simulated with a 3-D pore …
