Abstract

The study intends to investigate the effects of fluid characteristics on the Darcian flow through porous media, which would help to perceive the merits of its employment in different designs of porous media systems. To systematically conduct this aim, both theoretical modeling and numerical simulations are used while using different incompressible fluids of four liquids (water, oil, n-heptane, and n-hexane) and three gases (nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane). In this regard, an acceptance between the simulation results and the experimental findings is confirmed. The results demonstrate the actual effect of friction factor and pressure gradient on the fluid properties of viscosity and density. An increase in Reynolds numbers caused a decrease in the friction factor, which signify a shift in dominance from viscous to inertial forces. The pressure gradient rises with higher inlet velocities, proposing that a higher flow rate necessitates a larger pressure differential to overwhelmed resistance of the porous structure.

多孔介质中流体性质对达希安流动动力学影响的评估：液体和气体的详细研究

本研究旨在探讨流体特性对多孔介质中达西流动的影响，这将有助于了解在不同多孔介质系统设计中使用达西流动的优点。为了系统地实现这一目标，在使用四种液体（水、油、正庚烷和正己烷）和三种气体（氮、二氧化碳和甲烷）的不同不可压缩流体时，使用了理论建模和数值模拟。在这方面，模拟结果与实验结果之间的一致性得到了证实。结果表明了摩擦系数和压力梯度对流体粘度和密度的实际影响。雷诺数的增加引起摩擦系数的降低，这表明主导力从粘性力转向惯性力。压力梯度随入口流速的增大而增大，说明流速越大，多孔结构的压差越大。

期刊介绍： -Publishes original research on physical, chemical, and biological aspects of transport in porous media- Papers on porous media research may originate in various areas of physics, chemistry, biology, natural or materials science, and engineering (chemical, civil, agricultural, petroleum, environmental, electrical, and mechanical engineering)- Emphasizes theory, (numerical) modelling, laboratory work, and non-routine applications- Publishes work of a fundamental nature, of interest to a wide readership, that provides novel insight into porous media processes- Expanded in 2007 from 12 to 15 issues per year. Transport in Porous Media publishes original research on physical and chemical aspects of transport phenomena in rigid and deformable porous media. These phenomena, occurring in single and multiphase flow in porous domains, can be governed by extensive quantities such as mass of a fluid phase, mass of component of a phase, momentum, or energy. Moreover, porous medium deformations can be induced by the transport phenomena, by chemical and electro-chemical activities such as swelling, or by external loading through forces and displacements. These porous media phenomena may be studied by researchers from various areas of physics, chemistry, biology, natural or materials science, and engineering (chemical, civil, agricultural, petroleum, environmental, electrical, and mechanical engineering).
