Flow and transport in porous media and batteries

Porous media describes systems which are found in many different areas of engineering. The study of flow, transport, and reaction in porous media is central in chemical engineering: for filtration processes, packed bed catalytic reactors, and applications in energy storage systems (mainly batteries). Moreover, the study of flow, transport, and reaction in porous media opens up your research to many other different fields, from energy conversion applications (the development of innovative heat exchange processes) to the natural world and the study of sustainable conservation and defence of water resources.
