New study reveals how particle size impacts fluid behavior in porous materials.
The article explores how the size of particles in a porous material affects its complexity. By using a method called lattice Boltzmann, researchers studied how fluid moves through different-sized obstacles in the material. They found that changing the particle size while keeping the material's openness constant can help predict how fluid flows. The study shows that the more particles there are, the more winding the path of the fluid becomes.
