This paper, presented by T. Paris, focuses on the macroscopic modeling of fluid flow and thermal diffusion in porous materials. The research centers on calculating equivalent properties, such as permeability and effective thermal conductivity, by analyzing realistic 3D microstructures.
The study examines how different flow regimes—specifically Darcy, transitional, and inertial—behave at the pore scale.Â
