We present a flexible scalable open-source computational framework, named SECUReFoam, based on the finite-volume library OpenFOAM®, for flow and transport problems in highly heterogeneous geological media and other porous materials. The framework com... Read More about Computational framework for complex flow and transport in heterogeneous porous media.

Dynamics of long bubbles propagating through cylindrical micro-pin fin arrays (2023)
Journal Article
El Mellas, I., Municchi, F., Icardi, M., & Magnini, M. (2023). Dynamics of long bubbles propagating through cylindrical micro-pin fin arrays. International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 163, 104443. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmultiphaseflow.2023.104443

The dynamics of two-phase flows confined within complex and non-straight geometries is of interest for a variety of applications such as micro-pin fin evaporators and flow in unsaturated porous media. Despite the propagation of bubbles in straight ch... Read More about Dynamics of long bubbles propagating through cylindrical micro-pin fin arrays.

Modelling the influence of mechanical-ecohydrological feedback on the nonlinear dynamics of peatlands (2023)
Journal Article
Mahdiyasa, A. W., Large, D. J., Muljadi, B. P., & Icardi, M. (2023). Modelling the influence of mechanical-ecohydrological feedback on the nonlinear dynamics of peatlands. Ecological Modelling, 478, Article 110299. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2023.110299

Peatlands are complex systems that exhibit nonlinear dynamics due to internal and external feedback mechanisms. However, the feedback of vegetation on peat volume changes that potentially affect peatland dynamics is not well understood. Here, we anal...
