Karbonflussigkeitsverteilungen

Karbonflussigk is a proposed physical concept in materials science that describes the flow behavior of carbon-rich liquids within confined or porous environments. The term blends elements of German origins, with karb(on) meaning carbon and flüssig meaning liquid, signaling a focus on carbon-based fluids and their transport dynamics.

Proponents describe Karbonflussigk as a regime in which the concentration and molecular structure of carbon cause spatial variations in viscosity, density, and phase behavior. This coupling between chemical composition and transport can lead to non-Newtonian flow, pronounced capillary effects, and interfacial phenomena at micro- to mesoscopic scales. The concept highlights how carbon content can influence flow patterns, potentially producing localized shear thinning, carbon-rich plume fingering, and altered permeability compared with systems that are purely hydrocarbon- or water-based.

Experimental study of Karbonflussigk remains largely theoretical and exploratory. Researchers employ microfluidic analogs, porous media columns, and spectroscopic tracers to observe flow patterns of carbon-rich fluids under controlled temperature and pressure. Quantitative descriptions often rely on extended rheological models, coupled transport equations, and pore-scale simulations. At present, there is no broad consensus on a universal definition or standardized measurement protocol.

In discussions and speculative contexts, Karbonflussigk is linked to areas such as carbon management, advanced battery electrolytes, and novel carbon-containing materials where transport properties are strongly influenced by chemical composition. It intersects with non-Newtonian fluid dynamics, reactive transport in porous media, and broader carbon-cycle studies.
