Generalized multirate models for conjugate transfer in heterogeneous materials (2020)
Journal Article
Municchi, F., & Icardi, M. (2020). Generalized multirate models for conjugate transfer in heterogeneous materials. Physical Review Research, 2(1), Article 013041. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevResearch.2.013041

We propose a novel macroscopic model for conjugate heat and mass transfer between a mobile region, where advective transport is significant, and a set of immobile regions where diffusive transport is dominant. Applying a spatial averaging operator to... Read More about Generalized multirate models for conjugate transfer in heterogeneous materials.
