معرفی
Avinoam Rabinovich is a Professor at the School of Mechanical Engineering within the Iby and Aladar Fleischman Faculty of Engineering at Tel Aviv University. His research focuses on subsurface flow dynamics, particularly in oil and gas reservoirs, groundwater systems, and CO2 storage in saline aquifers. Key areas of interest include effective properties of heterogeneous media, upscaling methods for numerical simulations, core characterization, capillary heterogeneity effects, and oscillatory flow analysis.
- Education: B.Sc. (2007) and M.Sc. (2009) in Geophysics from Tel Aviv University, Ph.D. (2014) in Mechanical Engineering from Tel Aviv University.
The research group led by Prof. Rabinovich employs theoretical approaches, numerical simulations, and experimental data analysis to develop engineering tools and understand fundamental flow mechanics. Their work has direct applications in carbon sequestration, aquifer recharge modeling, and petroleum production planning.
Selected research trends include:
- Development of analytical solutions for heat and mass transfer in heterogeneous media
- Upscaling techniques for CO2 storage simulations
- Frequency-dependent hydraulic properties from oscillatory pumping tests
The group's publications (2011–2018) span journals in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, geophysics, and petroleum engineering, with recent work focusing on capillary heterogeneity and low-flow-rate corrections.
