Optimal solution of nonlinear heat and mass transfer in a two-layer flow with nano-Eyring–Powell fluid
Abstract This paper deals with the fully-developed two-layer Eyring–Powell fluid in a vertical channel divided into two equal regions. One region is filled with the clear Eyring–Powell fluid and other with the nano-Eyring–Powell fluid. The flow is...

Reservoir condition imaging of reactive transport in heterogeneous carbonates using fast synchrotron tomography — Effect of initial pore structure and flow conditions
Abstract We investigate the impact of initial pore structure and velocity field heterogeneity on the dynamics of fluid/solid reaction at high Péclet numbers (fast flow) and low Damköhler number (relatively slow reaction rates). The Diamond...
