Interfacial phonon transport widely exists in nanosystems, yet the physical mechanism has never been well understood. In this work, a numerical framework is developed for interfacial phonon transport between dissimilar materials with a frequency-dependent transmissivity by introducing the spectral diffuse mismatch model into an efficient kinetic-type Monte Carlo scheme. The numerical method is validated by modeling cross-plane phonon transport through several single-layer and bi-layer thin films, which shows good agreement with the discrete-ordinates solutions. Through mesoscopic modeling, the size effect of Kapitza conductance is found to be weak or vanishing when the equivalent equilibrium temperature or emitted phonon temperature is adopted for defining the interfacial temperature difference respectively. Furthermore, the effective Kapitza conductance decreases when interfacial roughness is introduced, which can be mainly ascribed to the increased interfacial area ratio by roughness. For engineering application, an empirical power law is proposed for the dependence of effective Kapitza conductance on interfacial area ratio. The present work will promote fundamental understanding and modeling capability of interfacial heat transport, as well as engineering design and optimization of interface in nano devices.

Critical REV Size of Multiphase Flow in Porous Media for Upscaling by Pore-Scale Modeling

Tong Liu, Moran Wang

Summary: Digital rock analysis provides a powerful tool for predicting geophysical properties and studying fluid and interfacial transport mechanisms in rocks, but there is a struggle to balance scanning resolution and sample size due to imaging technology limitations. The critical size of REV for multiphase flow in porous media is found beyond twice that for single-phase flow in this study, indicating the influence of phase interaction and wettability on relative permeability-saturation curve in multiphase flow.

Can we infer the percolation status of 3D fractured media from 2D outcrops?

Weiwei Zhu, Gang Lei, Xupeng He, Yafan Yang, Ryan Kurniawan Santoso, Moran Wang

Summary: This study investigates the fluid flow in underground fractures by examining their three-dimensional structure and two-dimensional cross-section maps. 3D fracture networks with different geometries are constructed, and their connectivity is analyzed using labeled clusters on cross-section maps. The study reveals that clustering effects have a significant impact on local intersections, but negligible effects on fracture intensities of 3D fracture networks. Empirical limits are provided to predict the fracture intensity and connectivity based on outcrop maps.

Effect of interfacial roughness on thermal boundary conductance: An elastic wave model using the Kirchhoff approximation

Bin Liu, Vladimir Khvesyuk, Alexander A. Barinov, Moran Wang

Summary: Interfacial roughness plays an important role in nanoscale thermal transport, but existing theoretical descriptions are lacking due to the difficulty in quantifying phonon scattering at disordered interfaces. This study proposes an elastic wave model that describes phonon-interface interaction using interface elasticity. The model can quantitatively estimate the effect of roughness on thermal boundary conductance and provide a transmission image of wave-like phonons at the interface.

Preferential flow control in heterogeneous porous media by concentration-manipulated rheology of microgel particle suspension

Wenhai Lei, Qiangqiang Li, Hai-En Yang, Tian-Jiang Wu, Jiong Wei, Moran Wang

Summary: This study proposes a new mechanism of preferential flow control in heterogeneous porous media by manipulating the concentration of microgel particle suspension, which is supported by microfluidic experiments and pore-scale simulations. By controlling the injection concentration, different transport modes can be identified, and the optimal synchronous displacement is achieved at an intermediate injection concentration. However, weak concentration manipulation at low injection concentrations and frequent alternation of preferential flow pathways at high injection concentrations can lead to entrapment of oleic ganglia. These findings deepen the understanding of microgel particle suspension dynamics in heterogeneous porous media and have implications for applications such as enhanced oil recovery and CO2 sequestration.

Summary: This study reports the non-monotonic wettability effects on displacement efficiency in porous structures. Experiments show that there exists a critical wettability in porous matrix structures with preferential flow pathways to achieve the highest displacement efficiency. The distribution of phases in porous structures also varies under different wettability conditions.

Bin Liu, Yangyu Guo, Vladimir I. Khvesyuk, Alexander A. Barinov, Moran Wang

Summary: This theoretical investigation explores coherent-to-incoherent heat conduction in multilayer nanostructures, demonstrating that in the coherent regime, accurate predictions can be made using the elastic continuum model. The study shows that as temperature or system size increases, phonon dephasing scattering results in deviation from coherent-limit calculation, and by introducing phonon incoherence, classical minimum thermal conductivity can be reproduced, extending the pure wave model into the wave-particle crossing regime.

Weiwei Zhu, Xupeng He, Yiteng Li, Gang Lei, Ryan Santoso, Moran Wang

Summary: This study uses a stochastic discrete fracture network method to simulate fractures in subsurface formations and conducts a sensitivity analysis. The results show that critically stressed fractures form the backbone of the stimulated reservoir volume (SRV), while partially open fractures can significantly enlarge the size of SRV. Fracture roughness is the most influential factor for the total length of critically stressed fractures, and the probability of open fractures is the most significant factor for the relative increase of SRV.

Summary: This paper investigates the two-phase flow and heat transfer characteristics of low-velocity jet impacting on a cylindrical surface. The study reveals that the heat transfer regimes are non-phase transition and nucleate boiling with the increase of heat transfer rate. The effects of jet impact height and outlet velocity on local surface temperatures are pronounced at the non-phase transition stage. The growth rates of heat transfer rate and liquid loss rate increase significantly from the non-phase transition to nucleate boiling stage.

Controlling heat capacity in a thermal concentrator using metamaterials: Numerical and experimental studies

Thiwanka Arepolage, Christophe Verdy, Thibaut Sylvestre, Aymeric Leray, Sebastien Euphrasie

Summary: This study developed two thermal concentrators, one with a 2D design of uniform thickness and another with a 3D design, using the coordinate transformation technique and metamaterials. By structuring the thermal conductor, the desired local density-heat capacity product and anisotropic thermal conductivities were achieved. The homogenized thermal conductivities were obtained from finite element simulations and cylindrical symmetry consideration. A 3D concentrator was fabricated using 3D metal printing and characterized using a thermal camera. Compared to devices that solely consider anisotropic conductivities, the time evolution characteristics of the metadevice designed with coordinate transformation were closer to those of an ideal concentrator.

Liangyuan Cheng, Qingyang Wang, Jinliang Xu

Summary: In this study, we investigated the supercritical heat transfer of CO2 in a horizontal tube with a diameter of 10.0 mm, covering a wide range of pressures, mass fluxes, and heat fluxes. The study revealed a non-monotonic increase in wall temperatures along the flow direction and observed both positive and negative wall temperature differences between the bottom and top tube. The findings were explained by the thermal conduction in the solid wall interacting with the stratified-wavy flow in the tube.
