de Hoop, S. (author), Voskov, D.V. (author), Bertotti, G. (author), Barnhoorn, A. (author)Fracture networks are abundant in subsurface applications (e.g., geothermal energy production, CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration). Fractured reservoirs often have a very complex structure, making modeling flow and transport in such networks slow and unstable. Consequently, this limits our ability to perform uncertainty quantification and increases...journal article 2022

Brändle de Motta, J.C. (author), Breugem, W.P. (author), Gazanion, B. (author), Estivalezes, J.L. (author), Vincent, S. (author), Climent, E. (author)A general model is presented for short-range hydrodynamic interactions and head-on particle-particle/wall collisions. The model has been embedded in two distinct numerical methods for fully resolved simulation of finite-size particles in a viscous fluid.

Meulenbroek, B.J. (author), Farajzadeh, R. (author), Bruining, J. (author)Carbon dioxide injected in an aquifer rises quickly to the top of the reservoir and forms a gas cap from where it diffuses into the underlying water layer. Transfer of the CO2 to the aqueous phase below is enhanced due to the high density of the carbon dioxide containing aqueous phase. This paper investigates the behavior of the diffusive...journal article 2013

On the fabrication of PDMS micromodels by rapid prototyping, and their use in two-phase flow studiesKaradimitriou, N.K. (author), Musterd, M. (author), Kleingeld, P.J. (author), Kreutzer, M.T. (author), Hassanizadeh, S.M. (author), Joekar-Niasar, V. (author)Micromodels have been increasingly employed in various ways in porous media research, to study the pore-scale behavior of fluids. Micromodels have proven to be a valuable tool by allowing the observation of flow and transport at the micron scale in chemical, biological, and physical applications. They have helped to improve our insight of flow...journal article 2013

Van Steijn, V. (author), Korczyk, P.M. (author), Derzsi, L. (author), Abate, A.R. (author), Weitz, D.A. (author), Garstecki, P. (author)We introduce a novel type of droplet generator that produces droplets of a volume set by the geometry of the droplet generator and not by the flow rates of the liquids. The generator consists of a classic T-junction with a bypass channel. This bypass directs the continuous fluid around the forming droplets, so that they can fill the space...journal article 2013

Ooms, G. (author), Pourquie, M.J.B.M. (author), Beerens, J.C. (author)A numerical study has been made of horizontal core-annular flow: the flow of a high-viscosity liquid core surrounded by a low-viscosity liquid annular layer through a horizontal pipe. Special attention is paid to the question how the buoyancy force on the core, caused by a density difference between the core and the annular layer, is...journal article 2013

Monodisperse water microdroplets generated by electrohydrodynamic atomization in the simple-jet modeAgostinho, L.L.F. (author), Yurteri, C.U. (author), Fuchs, E.C. (author), Marijnissen, J.C.M. (author)Experiments were conducted in order to investigate the influences of flow rate, applied voltage, and electric conductivity on droplet size and size distribution of water electrosprays in the simple-jet mode. The results show that the electric potential decreases significantly the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the spray size distribution,...journal article 2012

(author)Explosive evaporation of a superheated liquid is a relevant hazard in the process industry. A vessel rupture during storage, transport or handling may lead to devastating blast effects. In order to assess the risk associated with this hazard or to design protective measures, an accurate prediction model for the blast generated after vessel...journal article 2012

Glavatskiy, K.S. (author), Bedeaux, D. (author)In this paper we calculate the interfacial resistances to heat and mass transfer through a liquid–vapor interface in a binary mixture. We use two methods, the direct calculation from the actual nonequilibrium solution and integral relations, derived earlier. We verify, that integral relations, being a relatively faster and cheaper method, indeed...journal article 2010

Zhao, L.H. (author), Andersson, H.I. (author), Gillissen, J.J.J. (author)This letter reports on the pronounced turbulence modulations and the accompanying drag reduction observed in a two-way coupled simulation of particle-laden channel flow. The present results support the view that drag reduction can be achieved not only by means of polymeric or fiber additives but also with spherical particles.journal article 2010

Ooms, G. (author), Poesio, P. (author)A theoretical model is presented for the effect of particle inertia and gravity on the turbulence in a homogeneous suspension. It is an extension of the one-fluid model developed by L’vov, Ooms, and Pomyalov [Phys. Rev. E 67, 046314 (2003)] , in which the effect of gravity was not considered. In the extended model the particles are assumed to...journal article 2005
