Dr. Fizza Zahid

Dr Fizza Zahid completed her PhD in Environmental Engineering in May 2021.

Fizza’s PhD research focused on the pore-scale modeling of multi-phase fluid flow (e.g., oil and water) in porous media.  Specifically, Fizza investigated the impact of grain morphology on the development of fluid-fluid interfaces.  Fizza employed lattice Boltzmann modeling (color gradient method) to accomplish the multi-phase flow modeling.  The goal of the work was to understand the physics of pore-scale multi-phase flow in porous media, with a view towards improving engineering solutions involving multi-phase fluids (e.g., soil remediation, carbon dioxide sequestration).
