考虑接触角滞后性多孔介质内非混相驱替研究

接触角滞后性表现为前进和后退接触角不同,其是润湿表面上两相流动中的重要现象.该文采用改进的伪势格子Boltzmann(LB)两相模型,并与几何润湿边界条件相结合,研究了接触角滞后性、毛细数以及几何结构对多孔介质内不混溶驱替过程的影响.数值结果表明:单渗透性多孔介质内相同毛细数下,保持后退角一定,驱替效率随着前进角的增大而增大;疏水和中性接触角滞后性窗口中,驱替效率随滞后性窗口大小增大而减小.在亲水接触角滞后性窗口中,接触角滞后性大小作用不明显;同等窗口大小下,所有选取的亲水滞后性窗口驱替效率大于中性滞后性窗口,中性滞后性窗口驱替效率大于疏水滞后性窗口.单渗透性多孔介质内相同接触角滞后性条件下,毛细数C_a越大,驱替相在多孔介质内的指进现象越明显,驱替效率越小.另外,双渗透多孔介质中驱替相更易在高渗透性区域流动并率先突破边界,驱替效率较单渗透性显著下降.

Generalized Darcy–Oseen resolvent problem

In this paper, we study the well‐posedness of a coupled Darcy–Oseen resolvent problem, describing the fluid flow between free‐fluid domains and porous media separated by a semipermeable membrane. The influence of osmotic effects, induced by the presence of a semipermeable membrane, on the flow velocity is reflected in the transmission conditions on the surface between the free‐fluid domain and the porous medium. To prove the existence of a weak solution of the generalized Darcy–Oseen resolvent system, we consider two auxiliary problems: a mixed Navier–Dirichlet problem for the generalized Oseen resolvent system and Robin problem for an elliptic equation related to the general Darcy equations. © 2016 The Authors Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.     

Nguetseng’s two-scale convergence method for filtration and seismic acoustic problems in elastic porous media

A linear system is considered of the differential equations describing a joint motion of an elastic porous body and a fluid occupying a porous space. The problem is linear but very hard to tackle since its main differential equations involve some (big and small) nonsmooth oscillatory coefficients. Rigorous justification under various conditions on the physical parameters is fulfilled for the homogenization procedures as the dimensionless size of pores vanishes, while the porous body is geometrically periodic. In result, we derive Biot’s equations of poroelasticity, the system consisting of the anisotropic Lamé equations for the solid component and the acoustic equations for the fluid component, the equations of viscoelasticity, or the decoupled system consisting of Darcy’s system of filtration or the acoustic equations for the fluid component (first approximation) and the anisotropic Lamé equations for the solid component (second approximation) depending on the ratios between the physical parameters. The proofs are based on Nguetseng’s two-scale convergence method of homogenization in periodic structures.     

Homogenization of a two‐phase incompressible fluid in crossflow filtration through a porous medium

We study the homogenization of a slow viscous two‐phase incompressible flow in a domain consisting of a free fluid domain, a porous medium, and the interface between them. We take into account the capillary forces on the fluid‐fluid interfaces. We construct boundary layers describing the flow at the interface between the free fluid and the porous medium. We derive a macroscopic model with a viscous two‐phase fluid in the free domain, a coupled Darcy law connecting two‐phase velocities in the porous medium, and boundary conditions at the permeable interface between the free fluid domain and the porous medium.     

Numerical study of magnetohydrodynamic viscous plasma flow in rotating porous media with Hall currents and inclined magnetic field influence

A numerical solution is developed for the viscous, incompressible, magnetohydrodynamic flow in a rotating channel comprising two infinite parallel plates and containing a Darcian porous medium, the plates lying in the x–z plane, under constant pressure gradient. The system is subjected to a strong, inclined magnetic field orientated to the positive direction of the y-axis (rotational axis, normal to the x–z plane). The Navier–Stokes flow equations for a general rotating hydromagnetic flow are reduced to a pair of linear, viscous partial differential equations neglecting convective acceleration terms, for primary velocity (u′) and secondary velocity (v′) where these velocities are directed along the x and y axes. Only viscous terms are retained in the momenta equations. The model is non-dimensionalized and shown to be controlled by a number of dimensionless parameters. The resulting dimensionless ordinary differential equations are solved using a robust numerical method, Network Simulation Methodology. Full details of the numerics are provided. The present solutions are also benchmarked against the analytical solutions presented recently by Ghosh and Pop [Ghosh SK, Pop I. An analytical approach to MHD plasma behaviour of a rotating environment in the presence of an inclined magnetic field as compared to excitation frequency. Int J Appl Mech Eng 2006;11(4):845–856] for the case of a purely fluid medium (infinite permeability). We study graphically the influence of Hartmann number (Ha, magnetic field parameter), Ekman number (Ek, rotation parameter), Hall current parameter (Nh), Darcy number (Da, permeability parameter), pressure gradient (Np) and also magnetic field inclination (θ) on primary and secondary velocity fields. Additionally we investigate the effects of these multiphysical parameters on the dimensionless shear stresses at the plates. Both primary and secondary velocity are seen to be increased with a rise in Darcy number, owing to a simultaneous reduction in Darcian drag force. Primary velocity is seen to decrease with an increase in Hall current parameter (Nh) but there is a decrease in secondary velocity. The study finds important applications in magnetic materials processing, hydromagnetic plasma energy generators, magneto-geophysics and planetary astrophysics.     

Magnetohydrodynamic non-Darcy mixed convection heat transfer from a vertical heated plate embedded in a porous medium with variable porosity

A numerical model is developed to study magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) mixed convection from a heated vertical plate embedded in a Newtonian fluid saturated sparsely packed porous medium by considering the variation of permeability, porosity and thermal conductivity. The boundary layer flow in the porous medium is governed by Forchheimer–Brinkman extended Darcy model. The conservation equations that govern the problem are reduced to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations. Because of non-linearity, the governing equations are solved numerically. The effects of magnetic field on velocity and temperature distributions are studied in detail by considering uniform permeability (UP) and variable permeability (VP) of the porous medium and the results are discussed graphically. Besides, skin friction and Nusselt number are also computed for various physical parameters governing the problem under consideration. It is found that the inertial parameter has a significant influence in increasing the flow field and the rate of heat transfer for variable permeability case. The important finding of the present work is that the magnetic field has considerable effects on the boundary layer velocity and on the rate of heat transfer for variable permeability of the porous medium. Further, the results obtained under the limiting conditions were found to be in good agreement with the existing ones.     

Combined effect of magnetic field and heat absorption on unsteady free convection and heat transfer flow in a micropolar fluid past a semi-infinite moving plate with viscous dissipation using element free Galerkin method

The fully developed electrically conducting micropolar fluid flow and heat transfer along a semi-infinite vertical porous moving plate is studied including the effect of viscous heating and in the presence of a magnetic field applied transversely to the direction of the flow. The Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model which includes the effects of boundary and inertia forces is employed. The differential equations governing the problem have been transformed by a similarity transformation into a system of non-dimensional differential equations which are solved numerically by element free Galerkin method. Profiles for velocity, microrotation and temperature are presented for a wide range of plate velocity, viscosity ratio, Darcy number, Forchhimer number, magnetic field parameter, heat absorption parameter and the micropolar parameter. The skin friction and Nusselt numbers at the plates are also shown graphically. The present problem has significant applications in chemical engineering, materials processing, solar porous wafer absorber systems and metallurgy.     

The propagation of weak concentration discontinuities in the isothermal flow of a multicomponent mixture in a porous medium with phase transitions

It is shown that for the general case of a system of non-linear equations, describing multicomponent isothermal flow in a porous medium with phase transitions, as in hyperbolic systems, weak concentration discontinuities propagate with finite velocities, which are determined by solving an eigenvalue problem. If the seeping phases are incompressible and there are no phase transitions, the results obtained for weak discontinuities transfer into the well-known formulae for the Buckley – Leverett model. The results are demonstrated for the case of two-component seepage with phase transitions.     

Lie group analysis of unsteady MHD three dimensional by natural convection from an inclined stretching surface saturated porous medium

Lie group method is investigated for solving the problem of heat transfer in an unsteady, three-dimensional, laminar, boundary-layer flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid over inclined permeable surface embedded in porous medium in the presence of a uniform magnetic field and heat generation/absorption effects. A uniform magnetic field is applied in the y-direction and a generalized flow model is presented to include the effects of the macroscopic viscous term and the microscopic permeability of porous medium. The infinitesimal generators accepted by the equations are calculated and the extension of the Lie algebra for the problem is also presented. The restrictions imposed by the boundary conditions on the generators are calculated. The investigation of the three-independent-variable partial differential equations is converted into a two-independent-variable system by using one subgroup of the general group. The resulting equations are solved numerically with the perturbation solution for various times. Velocity, temperature and pressure profiles, surface shear stresses, and wall-heat transfer rate are discussed for various values of Prandtl number, Hartmann number, Darcy number, heat generation/absorption coefficient, and surface mass-transfer coefficient.     

A systematic approximation for the equations governing convection–diffusion in a porous medium

In order to take into account thermal effects in flows through porous media, one makes ad hoc modifications to Darcy’s equation by appending a term that is similar to the one that is obtained in the Oberbeck–Boussinesq approximation for a fluid. In this short paper we outline a systematic procedure for obtaining an Oberbeck–Boussinesq type of approximation for the flow of a fluid through a porous medium. In addition to establishing the appropriate equation for a flow governed by Darcy’s equation, we proceed to obtain the approximations for flows governed by equations due to Forchheimer and Brinkman.
