Computational Microfluidics for Geosciences

Computational microfluidics for geosciences is the third leg of scientific strategy that includes microfluidic experiments and high-resolution imaging deciphering coupled processes in geological porous media. This modeling approach solves fundamental equations continuum mechanics exact geometry materials. intends to complement augment laboratory experiments. Although field still its infancy, recent progress multiphase flow reactive transport at pore-scale has shed new light on mechanisms occurring media already. In this paper, we review state-of-the-art computational geosciences, open challenges, future trends.
