The present work reflects a multi-disciplinary effort to address
the topic of confined hydrosystems developed with a
cross-fertilization panel of physics, chemists, biologists, soil
and earth scientists. Confined hydrosystems include all situations
in natural settings wherein the extent of the liquid phase is
limited so that the solid-liquid and/or liquid-air interfaces may
be critical to the properties of the whole system. Primarily, this
so-called "residual" solution is occluded in pores/channels in such
a way that decreases its tendency to evaporation, and makes it
long-lasting in arid (Earth deserts) and hyper-arid (Mars soils)
areas. The associated physics is available from domains like
capillarity, adsorption and wetting, and surface forces. However,
many processes are still to understand due to the close
relationship between local structure and matter properties, the
subtle interplay between the host and the guest, the complex
intermingling among static reactivity and migration pathway. Expert
contributors from Israel, Russia, Europe and US discuss the
behaviour of water and aqueous solutes at different scale, from the
nanometric range of carbon nanotubes and nanofluidics to the
regional scale of aquifers reactive flow in sedimentary basins.
This scientific scope allowed the group of participants with very
different background to tackle the confinement topic at different
scales. The book is organized according to four sections that
include: i) flow, from nano- to mega-scale; ii) ions, hydration and
transport; iii) in-pores/channels cavitation; iv) crystallization
under confinement. Most of contributions relates to experimental
works at different resolution, interpreted through classic
thermodynamics and intermolecular forces. Simulation techniques are
used to explore the atomic scale of interfaces and the migration in
the thinnest angstrom-wide channels.
