Wicking of Liquids in Porous Media: Advances and Applications explores the intricate physics and innovative modeling techniques governing the movement of liquids through porous media, a phenomenon known as wicking.
This comprehensive resource delivers the latest advancements in theoretical models, experimental methodologies, and practical applications of wicking across diverse fields. By synthesizing contemporary research findings with foundational theories, the book serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the complexities of fluid flow and transport in porous structures. At its core, the book provides an in-depth exploration of the physics of wetting and the dynamics of capillary action within the context of porous media. Theoretical discussions elucidate key concepts such as capillary pressure, wetting front dynamics, and the influence of porous media characteristics on wicking behavior. Advanced modeling approaches, including the Lucas-Washburn equation, sharp-front and diffused-front models, and pore network models, are thoroughly examined.
Designed to appeal to a diverse audience, this book targets professionals in industries reliant on porous materials, such as textiles, water management, energy storage, and biomedical devices, as well as academic researchers and graduate students in materials science, chemical, mechanical, environmental, and biomedical engineering.
