Porous media are relevant in many technological and industrial fields set to play an important role in the future: energy storage, pollution control, water treatment, renewable energies, biofuels, food-processing and health.
The study of these media requires contributions from numerous different scientific disciplines, including computational fluid mechanics, geosciences and process engineering.
For the 16th edition of JEMP, the porous media study days event, hosted by IFPEN from 17 to 19 October 2023, four scientific developments, supported by significant examples, show the variety of fields of application of these porous media and the diversity of approaches deployed by our researchers to study them.
