Micro- and nanoscale transport in porous media
and multiscale modeling [80310613] 48 course hours [In English]
The
course "Microscale transport in porous media and multiscale modeling"
is to introduce the latest theoretical system and state of art in this field in
the world to graduate students or
senior under-graduate students.
We
are trying to lead students to this brand-new field through lectures, open
discussions and research training. The contents of this course include but not
limited to:
characterization
and reproduction of micro/nano porous media,
single-phase
flow in porous media,
multiphase
flow in porous media,
heat
transfer in microporous media,
phase
change in porous flow,
diffusion
and coupled mass transfer in micro/nanoporous media,
frontier
of thermodynamics in micro/nanoscale porous flows,
multiscale
modeling in corresponding topics.

Teaching
Philosophy
My
interests in teaching have played a significant role in my decision to choose
an academic career. Beginning when I was an undergraduate, I have always
enjoyed sharing my ideas and knowledge of various subjects with fellow
students. By means of discussions, I have gained clarity in my understanding of
these subjects. Thus, I also treat teaching as an opportunity to enhance my own
scientific understanding. I took many courses as a graduate student and in most
I had excellent instructors. These courses and personal interaction with
instructors played a major role in shaping my interests and research direction.
I believe that teaching is an integral part of scientific contribution. It
shapes the views of many young people, as it was in my case. Apart from
research, my interests in teaching and enthusiasm to use teaching as a means of
scientific contribution has motivated me to choose an academic career.
Teaching
plans
Given
my research and academic background, I will be comfortable teaching both
undergraduate and graduate level courses in the area of fluid mechanics and
thermal science, which include Fluid Mechanics, Heat Mass Transfer,
and Scientific Computation with MATLAB for the undergraduate level, and
some new courses in my teaching plans for the graduate level:
Advanced Heat Transfer and
Thermal Management: This course
will provide graduate students the basic concepts and background on heat
transport, introduce physics of heat to the latest research progress in theory,
modeling and experiments, and lead them to this interesting and promising area.
Applied Fluid Mechanics: This
course will provide undergraduate and graduate students the basic concepts and
background on fluid mechanics and applications, especially on the latest
research progress in theory, modeling and experiments, and lead them to this
interesting and promising area.
Transports in Porous
Media: This course,
which is for undergraduate students, will focus on multiphysical transports in
micro porous media in addition to the conventional theories and models. Through
in-class learning and out-of-class reading, students can gain background
knowledge in multiphysical transports in microporous media.
