Macroscopic capillary pressure in multi-phase porous media flows
Although multi-phase flow in porous media is an established research field for decades, its theoretical background is still being developed. Read more
Advanced CFD methods for porous media flows
Applications are invited to work on the development of advanced modelling techniques, based on existing novel high resolution, massively parallel schemes applicable to porous-media Simulations can include flows in porous media with the direct pore simulations as well as Darcy flows. Read more
Mass transport and interaction of ions in porous media with a prospect of energy storage
Understanding the mass transport mechanisms in micro channels and porous media is key in designing many engineering processes. The aim of this project is to investigate the mechanisms of fluid flow through porous materials with different morphology considering the interactions of ions with solid surfaces. Read more
Computational research of multiphase flow in porous media. Reservoir modeling, CO2 storage, upscaling.
The Subsurface Reservoir Flow Group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering in Tel Aviv University lead by Dr. Avinoam Rabinovich is seeking students for a PhD position in the field of multiphase flow modeling in porous media. Read more
Characterisation of the porous media used in PEM fuel cells
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells are one of the most promising clean power conversion technology that has been increasingly adopted by several countries to reduce the emission of the greenhouse gas emissions. Read more
Numerical modelling of reactive transport in porous materials
Research Group:
Institute of GeoEnergy Engineering
Project Ref. EGIS2023-JM. Understanding reactive transport in porous materials is of utmost importance for a wide range of engineering applications, including subsurface energy storage, low-carbon building materials and fuel cells. Read more
Multiphase flow in responsive media: Hydrate formation in Carbon Geosequestration
This interdisciplinary project aims to improve understanding of the physics underlying hydrate formation in porous media during carbon geosequestration. Read more
Investigation of confinement effects on phase and flow behaviours of gas and condensate fluids with and without CO2 in unconventional reservoirs
Research Group:
Institute of GeoEnergy Engineering
Project Ref. JWS2023-MJ. It is believed that in nano- and micro-pores of Unconventional Reservoirs (URs) pore-wall-fluid intermolecular forces are so important that the fluid phase behaviour and properties of fluids residing in these pores cannot be captured by the conventional bulk fluid data. Read more
Foam improved oil recovery
Typically in oil and gas production, only a small fraction of the oil present manages to flow out of an oil reservoir under the reservoir’s own pressure. Read more
Investigation of Flow through Wellbore Cements
Research Group:
Institute of GeoEnergy Engineering
Project Ref. DANESH2023-MS. Introduction. Achieving Net Zero in the required timescale depends, to a great extent, on our ability to permanently remove large quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere as well as replacing carbon-based fuels with non-carbon alternatives. Read more
Droplet Impacts with Functional Surfaces
Droplet interactions with functional surfaces play a crucial role in many important physical processes, from preventing virus laden droplets passing through face masks to reducing the build-up of ice on the surfaces of flying aircraft. Read more
Viscous fingering instabilities: suppression mechanisms (mathematical modelling, theory, and computation)
The interface between two fluids can be made morphologically unstable, resulting in complex pattern formation frequently encountered in porous media and biological systems. Read more
Feasibility study of mineral mining from subsurface reservoirs for renewable energy storage
Critical minerals such as alkali metals play an important role in batteries and fuel cells. Their demand is expected to increase as more of the world turns to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. Read more
Multi-scale characterisation of the subsurface system for decarbonation energy (Digital Rock Manchester)
The subsurface system can act as a large-scale, low-cost and safe system for huge storage for either energy or waste, which provides provide important solutions to carbon management in order to tackle the global climate crisis and meet the Net-Zero target. Read more
Nonequilibrium two-phase flow in disordered media: Memory, hysteresis and energy dissipation
The displacement of a fluid by another in a disordered porous material, for example migration of water and gases in soils and rocks, is often out-of-equilibrium. Read more
