Dr Yihuai Zhang

  • Lecturer: Geo-Energy Engineering (Systems Power & Energy)

Biography

Dr. Zhang is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Geo-energy engineering at the University of Glasgow. His research focuses on the fluid dynamics of multiphase flow in porous media from nano/micron to large scales to establish a fundamental and conceptual understanding of flow behaviour in subsurface rock, which has broad applications to carbon geological storage, geo-energy resources recovery, subsurface contaminant control, and flow in fuel cells.

Research interests

  • Carbon capture and storage (CCS) 
  • Hydrogen storage
  • Subsurface flow 
  • Geothermal 
  • Rock physics and mechanics
  • Multiphase flow in porous media
  • Pore-scale imaging and modelling
