Deformation in Porous Media; squashing paper, and carbon dioxide storage

Abstract
The phenomenon of coupled flow and deformation in porous media arises in a huge range of settings, from everyday household activities like wringing out a kitchen sponge, to soil consolidation in sedimentary geology and swelling tissues or oedemas in biology. In this talk I will discuss mathematical modelling of coupled flow and deformation in porous media, with two distinct applications: first, pressure-driven deformation of underground rock, and corresponding surface uplift, around injection sites used in geological storage of CO2 ; and secondly, compression of cellulose pulp suspensions with the aim of extracting water during the paper-making process. In each case I will introduce two-phase theoretical models, consider and analyse some informative asymptotic limits, and critically compare the results to complementary laboratory experiments.
Series This talk is part of the Quantitative Climate and Environmental Science Seminars series.
