Xiaojing (Ruby) Fu's research focuses on multiphase flow through porous media, pattern formation, reactive transport, and phase-field methods. Her work explores the dynamics of fluid displacement, wettability effects, and the formation of patterns in porous systems. Fu investigates the interplay between viscous fingering, convective mixing, and geochemical reactions, with applications in subsurface flow, hydrate growth, and climate change impacts. Her studies also address the characterization of heterogeneous permeability and the numerical simulation of unstable flow processes. By integrating experimental and computational approaches, Fu contributes to understanding complex transport phenomena in geological and environmental systems.
