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.

Upscaling Flow and Transport Processes (2019)
Book Chapter
Icardi, M., Boccardo, G., & Dentz, M. (2019). Upscaling Flow and Transport Processes. In F. Toschi, & M. Sega (Eds.), Flowing Matter (137-176). Springer International Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-23370-9_5

This chapter deals with flow, transport and reaction processes in porous and heterogeneous media characterised by multiple spatial scales. Although the governing equations, at the micro-scale, are simple (and often linear), complex upscaled (effectiv... Read More about Upscaling Flow and Transport Processes.

Systematic derivation of hybrid coarse-grained models (2019)
Journal Article
Di Pasquale, N., Hudson, T., & Icardi, M. (2019). Systematic derivation of hybrid coarse-grained models. Physical Review E, 99(1), Article 013303. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.99.013303

Molecular dynamics represents a key enabling technology for applications ranging from biology to the development of new materials. However, many real-world applications remain inaccessible to fully-resolved simulations due their unsustainable computa... Read More about Systematic derivation of hybrid coarse-grained models.

Mechanisms of dispersion in a porous medium (2018)
Journal Article
Dentz, M., Icardi, M., & Hidalgo, J. J. (2018). Mechanisms of dispersion in a porous medium. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 841, https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2018.120

This paper studies the mechanisms of dispersion in the laminar flow through the pore space of a three-dimensional porous medium. We focus on preasymptotic transport prior to the asymptotic hydrodynamic dispersion regime, in which solute motion may be... Read More about Mechanisms of dispersion in a porous medium.

Effect of wettability on two-phase quasi-static displacement: validation of two pore scale modeling approaches (2018)
Journal Article
Verma, R., Icardi, M., & Prodanovic, M. (2018). Effect of wettability on two-phase quasi-static displacement: validation of two pore scale modeling approaches. Journal of Contaminant Hydrology, 212, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jconhyd.2018.01.002

Abstract Understanding of pore-scale physics for multiphase flow in porous media is essential for accurate description of various flow phenomena. In particular, capillarity and wettability strongly influence capillary pressure-saturation and relative...

A robust upscaling of the effective particle deposition rate in porous media (2017)
Journal Article
Boccardo, G., Crevacore, E., Sethi, R., & Icardi, M. (2018). A robust upscaling of the effective particle deposition rate in porous media. Journal of Contaminant Hydrology, 212, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jconhyd.2017.09.002

In the upscaling from pore- to continuum (Darcy) scale, reaction and deposition phenomena at the solid-liquid interface of a porous medium have to be represented by macroscopic reaction source terms. The effective rates can be computed, in the case o... Read More about A robust upscaling of the effective particle deposition rate in porous media.
