Micro/Nano Level Investigations on Transport Phenomena at Solid-Fluid Interfaces
Session ID#: 81085
Session Description:
Intermolecular interaction is a key component for transport phenomena at solid-fluid interfaces at micro-/nano-scales. The significance of solid-fluid interaction is due to a large surface-to-volume ratio at such small scales. Solid surface serves as a distinct feature of adjacent fluid. This results in deviation to classical descriptions of unit operations, including momentum, heat, and mass transfer. Therefore, molecular-level investigations of interfacial transport is providing in-depth understanding of hydrogeophysics and desalination. Therein, transport processes are initiated at interfaces between aqueous solutions and mineral surfaces and between saline water and membrane filters. This session invites both numerical and experimental studies on micro-/nano-scale transport processes across solid-fluid interfaces. The scenarios of interests include but not are limited to: shale oil and gas recovery, water flow, water desalination. We welcome topics on (i) multi-scale modeling, (ii) in-situ, laboratory, and field studies, and (iii) validation and verification of predictive models on the micro-/nano-scales.
