My research focuses on cementitious grouting in heterogeneous porous media, with particular emphasis on non-Newtonian grout flow, time-dependent rheology, cement particle filtration, and clogging mechanisms.
I am developing a coupled numerical modelling framework to investigate the interactions between grout-water displacement, evolving rheological behaviour, and filtration-induced clogging. The research aims to improve understanding and prediction of grout transport and penetration in heterogeneous geological formations.
The broader objective is to develop physics-based approaches for predicting grout penetration and identifying effective grouting stop criteria. This work seeks to improve grouting efficiency, reduce material and energy consumption, and support more reliable grouting design for mining and underground construction projects.
