This project aims to develop an innovative general framework to build multiphase porous media transport models directly from electron microscope images of the underlying microstructure. Leading edge experimental, computational and applied mathematical techniques are proposed to drive this novel approach of multiscale modelling, employable across numerous fields of science and engineering. The central project theme of developing an efficient and accurate multiscale model for simulating transport in heterogeneous porous media is expected to find application in the drying, timber and crop industries, and governmental agencies managing pollution in groundwater resources. This insight is likely to be invaluable for designing new industrial technologies and optimising current operations.
