Multi-scale modeling of transport through deformable porous materials

了解溶质通过多孔材料的传输是必不可少的，因为它为回答当今社会的许多重要问题提供了技术基础-人类如何避免“脆骨”，如何设计耐用的基础设施，如何安全地存储废物（例如危险和市政废物）。这些问题的解决都需要模型开发的创新，新的分析方法和对结果的深刻解释。虽然该项目的理论发展是一般性的，但从某种意义上说，它们并不局限于特定的工程学科，但所选择的四个应用程序与两个主要的研究重点密切相关，即环境可持续的澳大利亚和促进和保持良好的健康。

Understanding solute transport through porous materials is essential because it provides a technical basis for answering many important questions in society today-how can humans avoid 'brittle bones', how to design durable infrastructure, how to safely store wastes (e.g. hazardous and municipal). Solution of each of these problems requires innovation in model development, new method of analysis, and insightful interpretation of results. While theoretical developments of this project are general, in the sense that they are not restricted to particular engineering disciplines, the four chosen applications closely align with two major research priorities namely An Environmental Sustainable Australia and Promoting and Maintaining Good Health.
