Physical minimal models of amoeboid cell motility
… behavior. In this thesis, we utilize minimal modeling to investigate single and collective cell motility in three different settings. The key question we strive to answer is whether cell locomotion is a physical process that can function without the biochemistry that controls it. First, we …

POROELASTIC AND SEISMIC CHARACTERIZATION OF HETEROGENEOUS RESERVOIR ROCKS
… focus of this dissertation is to link the poroelastic model that couples rock’s elastic and hydraulic properties to seismic characterization of the heterogeneous reservoirs. I have presented how to incorporate the dynamic poroelastic responses of microscopic and mesoscopic flow into the …

Deciphering Hydrological Responses: Elastic and Poroelastic Behavior Through GPS Temporal Analysis
… are some regions which can exhibit a porous or poroelastic response to surface water loading. In these areas, the subsurface can expand with the introduction of water; either by the filling of pore spaces or inflation of subsurface reservoirs. This process has the opposite sign of elastic …

Study of reactive flow, ground deformation and real-time tomography with applications on CO₂ sequestration
… issues: Experiments and a new computational model on the reactive flow of carbonic acid in limestone, an assessment of the surface uplift owing to sequestration of CO₂ in a carbonate saline aquifer, and a validation of a new, real-time, tomography method that monitors the velocity change …

The Mechanisms and Triggering of Earthquakes in the Ridge-Transform Environment
… and from this result and a one-dimensional poroelastic model, I provide an estimate of bulk permeability at this site. This observation may allow for more sophisticated investigations into the heat and chemical exchange between the newly formed oceanic crust and hydrothermal fluids, and may …

Nanomechanics of cartilage at the matrix and molecular levels
… mechanical functions of cartilage is known to be poroelasticity, based on previous theoretical and experimental studies. Poroelasticity manifests itself via fluid-solid frictional dissipation and intra-tissue fluid pressurization that underlie important mechanical functions of cartilage, …
