Defense of thesis 5 October: Michael Tobias Rauter – Faculty of Natural Sciences, NTNU Michael Tobias Rauter – THE DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY Michael Tobias Rauter has submitted the following academic thesis as part of the doctoral work at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU): Fluid Transport through Nanoporous Media in the Presence of
The paper from Federico Lanza, Alberto Rosso, Laurent Talon & Alex Hansen was accepted and published on August 27th, 2022, under Transport in Porous Media. Congratulations! Abstract: Fluid blobs in an immiscible Newtonian fluid flowing in a capillary tube with varying radius show highly nonlinear behavior. We consider here a generalization of previously obtained results to blobs of non-Newtonian
