地表，环境和能源哲学博士-多孔介质的流体力学

我们的部门在多孔介质中的流体研究方面投入了大量资金，从运移特性到含流体介质的物理特性，例如土壤，沉积物和岩浆悬浮液。研究主题包括陆地和沿海环境中的地下水流动，压实和成岩过程中的流体流动，碳氢化合物的迁移，流体对边坡稳定性的影响，气水合物动力学，增生棱镜中的流体流动，甚至融化的岩石中的迁移。我们使用数学建模以及地球物理，实验和地球化学技术探索这些问题。我们拥有用于测量各种土工材料的弹性，流变性，传输性和电导率的实验室。我们的工作在环境，工业和地质领域都有应用。
Our department has invested significantly in the study of fluids in porous media, from the transport properties to the physical properties of fluid-bearing media, such as soils, sediments and crystal-magma suspensions. Research topics include groundwater flow in terrestrial and coastal environments, fluid flow during compaction and diagenesis, migration of hydrocarbons, effects of fluids on slope stability, gas-hydrate dynamics, fluid flow in accretionary prisms, and even melt migration through rocks. We explore these problems using mathematical modeling and geophysical, experimental, and geochemical techniques. We have laboratories for measuring elastic properties, rheology, transport properties, and electrical conductivity of a variety of geo-materials. Our work has environmental, industrial and geologic applications.
