Description:

The session is aimed at the presentation of those works that involve the resolution of fluid flow and / or transport in non-homogeneous media or systems. Generally, these non-homogeneities are given on a micrometric scale, and as examples we can cite porous media, microdroplets, microemulsions or heterogeneities by accumulation of electrical charges in solution, among others. Two of the intrinsic characteristics of the mentioned physical systems are the flow regimes of laminar fluids or very low Reynolds number, and in the case of transport, the high number of Pèclet. Among the applications that we understand a priori can integrate this session we can include: microfluidics on paper, microdrops and microemulsions studies, transport in artificial biological media, transport of biomolecules in micro and nanostructured spaces and lubrication flow, among others.
