This paper presents a review of the recent advances in pore-scale modelling of drying in
capillary porous media. The development of pore network models in drying has been first …

Accurate predictions of convective heat and mass transfer at air–porous material interfaces
are essential in many engineering applications, one example being optimisation of industrial …

Evaporation from porous media involves mass and energy transport including phase
change, vapor diffusion, and liquid flow, resulting in complex displacement patterns affecting …

Geochemical reaction rate laws are often measured using crushed minerals in well-mixed
laboratory systems that are designed to eliminate mass transport limitations. Such rate laws …

A key performance limitation in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC), called the mass
transport loss, originates from liquid water transport and resulting flooding phenomena in the …

Experiments of evaporation are carried out in a two-dimensional micromodel under quasi-
isothermal conditions. Three basic cases are investigated: in the absence of gravity forces …

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 …

The effect is studied of capillarity‐driven viscous flow through macroscopic liquid films
during the isothermal drying of porous materials. A mathematical model that accounts for …

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 …

Previous experiments have demonstrated “enhanced” water vapor fluxes from partially
saturated porous media relative to fluxes predicted based on Fick's law. This led to various …
