Doctoral dissertation, Harvard University.http://dissertations.umi.com/gsas.harvard:11113http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:11169783We study the physics of flow through porous materials in two different ways: by directly visualizing flow through a model three-dimensional (3D) porous medium, and by investigating the deformability of fluid-filled microcapsules having porous shells.en-USPhysicsEngineeringGeophysicsThesis or Dissertation2013-10-15
