In a remarkable display of innovation, our team has once again showcased its leadership in carbon capture technology. A groundbreaking research proposal from our team has received high praise … Continued
Researchers at RCCS have achieved a significant advancement in the challenging field of upscaling multi-phase flow from the pore scale observations to the continuum scale, addressing a long-standing issue in fluid transport modeling. Traditional models often struggle to account for the effects of disconnected fluid ganglia and the dynamics of these ganglia, leading to discrepancies … Continued
