Upscaling the flow of generalised Newtonian fluids through anisotropic porous media

The homogenisation method with multiple scale expansions is used to investigate the slow and isothermal flow of generalised Newtonian fluids through anisotropic porous media. From this upscaling it is shown that the first-order macroscopic pressure gradient can be defined as the gradient of a macroscopic viscous dissipation potential, with respect to the first-order volume averaged fluid velocity. The macroscopic dissipation potential is the volume-averaged of local dissipation potential. Using this property, guidelines are proposed to build macroscopic tensorial permeation laws within the framework defined by the theory of anisotropic tensor functions and by using macroscopic isodissipation surfaces. A quantitative numerical study is then performed on a 3D fibrous medium and with a Carreau–Yasuda fluid in order to illustrate the theoretical results deduced from the upscaling.     

Rayleigh waves in orthotropic fluid-saturated porous media

In this paper, we are interested in the propagation of Rayleigh waves in orthotropic fluid-saturated porous media. This problem was investigated by Liu and Liu (2004). The authors have derived the secular equation of the wave but that secular equation is still in implicit form. The main aim of this paper is to derive explicit secular equation of the wave. By employing the method of polarization vector, the secular equations of Rayleigh waves in explicit form is obtained. This equation recovers the dispersion equation of Rayleigh waves propagating in pure orthotropic elastic half-spaces. Remarkably, the secular equation obtained is not a complex equation as the one derived by Liu and Liu, it is a really real equation.     

Characteristic analysis for stress wave propagation in transversely isotropic fluid-saturated porous media

According to generalized characteristic theory, a characteristic analysis for stress wave propagation in transversely isotropic fluid-saturated porous media was performed. The characteristic differential equations and compatibility relations along bicharacteristics were deduced and the analytical expressions for wave surfaces were obtained. The characteristic and shapes of the velocity surfaces and wave surfaces in the transversely isotropic fluid-saturated porous media were discussed in detail. The results also show that the characteristic equations for stress waves in pure solids are particular cases of the characteristic equations for fluid-saturated porous media.     

Propagation of torsional surface wave in anisotropic poroelastic medium under initial stress

The present work deals with the possibility of propagation of torsional surface wave in fluid saturated poroelastic layer lying over nonhomogeneous elastic half space. Both the media are assumed to be under compressive initial stress. The half space has two types of inhomogeneity, viz; hyperbolic and quadratic. The dispersion equation for torsional wave in porous layer has been derived and observed that the presence of fluid in pores increases the velocity of the torsional surface wave but the phase velocity diminishes due to the presence of compressive initial stress in the porous layer. It is also observed that the velocity of the torsional surface wave increases due to the increase of initial stress in inhomogeneous half space. The inhomogeneity factor due to quadratic and hyperbolic variations in rigidity, density and initial stress of the medium decreases the phase velocity as it increases.     

A non-linear analysis of non-isothermal wave propagation in linear-elastic fluid-saturated porous media

The non-isothermal dynamic behaviour of saturated porous media is analysed numerically employing the finite element method and taking energy convection due to large pore fluid displacements into account. A different pore fluid reference temperature is introduced in order to allow properly for heat convection: this concept is usually neglected in the literature and is discussed and analysed herein. The numerical procedure is validated in a simple problem of hot fluid injection in a steady seepage flow and by comparing the numerical results, neglecting energy convection, with those obtained with a novel solution of the linearised equations, presented herein, which is based on the transfer functions and Fourier transforms method. Finally, the effects of energy convection in wave propagation are analysed: in a pervious porous medium the flux of energy due to energy convection is much greater than the one due to heat conduction; in any case, wave propagation can be considered completely adiabatic even when energy convection is taken into account. Thus the validity of the results presented in the literature and based on the linearised theory is demonstrated.     

Check on a nonlocal Maxwellian theory of sound propagation in fluid-saturated rigid-framed porous media

A macroscopic nonlocal theory of sound propagation in homogeneous rigid-framed porous media permeated with a viscothermal fluid has been recently proposed in this journal. It accounts for the first time for the full temporal and spatial dispersion effects, independently of the nature of the microgeometry. In this paper this new Maxwellian theory is validated in the case of sound propagation in cylindrical circular tubes, by showing that it matches exactly the long-known direct Kirchhoff–Langevin’s solutions.     

Jump conditions across strong compaction waves in gas saturated rigid porous media

Based on experimental results and some additional simplifying assumptions, the general macroscopic two phase equations governing the flow field which is developed in a gas saturated rigid porous medium domain were simplified to a form which enab led us to develop two analytical models for calculating the jump conditions across strong compaction waves.Predictions obtained by these two simplified analytical models are compared to the experimental results of Sandusky and Liddiard (1985) and to predictions of another more complicated model which was proposed by Powers et al. (1989). Fairly good to excelle nt agreements are evident.This article was processed using Springer-Verlag T_EX Shock Waves macro package 1.0 and the AMS fonts, developed by the American Mathematical Society.     

The effect of anisotropic permeability on free convective boundary layer flow in porous media

The effect of an anisotropic permeability on thermal boundary layer flow in porous media is studied. The convective flow is induced by a vertical, uniformly heated surface embedded in a fluid-saturated medium. A leading-order boundary layer theory is presented. It is shown that the thickness of the resulting boundary layer flow is different from that obtained in an isotropic porous medium. In general, an anisotropic permeability induces a fluid drift in the spanwise direction, the strength of which depends on the precise nature of the anisotropy. Conditions are found which determine whether or not the boundary layer flow is three-dimensional.     

A wavelet finite-difference method for numerical simulation of wave propagation in fluid-saturated porous media

In this paper, we consider numerical simulation of wave propagation in fluidsaturated porous media. A wavelet finite-difference method is proposed to solve the 2-D elastic wave equation. The algorithm combines flexibility and computational efficiency of wavelet multi-resolution method with easy implementation of the finite-difference method. The orthogonal wavelet basis provides a natural framework, which adapt spatial grids to local wavefield properties. Numerical results show usefulness of the approach as an accurate and stable tool for simulation of wave propagation in fluid-saturated porous media.     

Rayleigh waves in anisotropic porous media and the polarization vector method

In this paper, the propagation of Rayleigh waves in orthotropic non-viscous fluid-saturated porous half-spaces with sealed surface-pores and with impervious surface is investigated. The main aim of the investigation is to derive explicit secular equations and based on them to examine the effect of the material parameters and the boundary conditions on the propagation of Rayleigh waves. By employing the method of polarization vector the explicit secular equations have been derived. These equations recover the ones corresponding to Rayleigh waves propagating in purely elastic half-spaces. It is shown from numerical examples that the Rayleigh wave velocity depends strongly on the porosity, the elastic constants, the anisotropy, the boundary conditions and it differs considerably from the one corresponding to purely elastic half-spaces. Remarkably, in the fluid saturated porous half-spaces, Rayleigh waves may travel with a larger velocity than that of the shear wave, a fact that is impossible for the purely elastic half-spaces.     

Thermal instability in a rotating anisotropic porous layer saturated by a viscoelastic fluid

Linear and non-linear thermal instability in a rotating anisotropic porous medium, saturated with viscoelastic fluid, has been investigated for free-free surfaces. The linear theory is being related to the normal mode method and non-linear analysis is based on minimal representation of the truncated Fourier series analysis containing only two terms. The extended Darcy model, which includes the time derivative and Coriolis terms has been employed in the momentum equation. The criteria for both stationary and oscillatory convection is derived analytically. The rotation inhibits the onset of convection in both stationary and oscillatory modes. A weak non-linear theory based on the truncated representation of Fourier series method is used to find the thermal Nusselt number. The transient behaviour of the Nusselt number is also investigated by solving the finite amplitude equations using a numerical method. The results obtained during the analysis have been presented graphically.     

Laboratory study on the evolution of waves parameters due to wave breaking in deep water

Understanding of the occurrence of the wave breaking, the process of the wave breaking and evolution of waves after they break in deep water is crucial to simulate the growth of wind wave in ocean. In this study, deep-water breaking waves with various spectral types, center frequencies and frequency bandwidths are generated in a wave flume based on energy focusing theory. The time series of the wave surface elevation along the flume are obtained by 22 wave probes mounted along the central line of the flume. The characteristics of deep-water wave breaking are analyzed using the spectrum analysis based on the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). For small center frequency the maximum height of wave surface generated using the Pierson–Moskowitz (P–M) spectrum is produced and the impact of the frequency width is small in wave breaking zone. While the spectral type has a significant impact on the local wave steepness during breaking, the influence of center frequency and frequency width on the local wave steepness is very weak. The significant wave steepness changes significantly after wave breaking, but it remains stable in the upstream or the downstream of wave breaking zone. After wave breaking, the peak frequency remains stable, but the spectrally weighted wave frequency changes significantly. The relationship between the level of downshift and the incident wave steepness is approximately linear. By analyzing the energy spectra, it is found that the energy loses near high frequency of controlling frequencies range and increases near peak frequency during the wave breaking. After wave breaking, the total energy dissipates remarkably with increasing breaking intensity.     

Hydrodynamic stability of evaporation fronts in porous media

The stability of phase transition fronts in water flows through porous media is considered. In the short-wave approximation a linear stability analysis is carried out and a sufficient condition of hydrodynamic instability of the phase discontinuity is proposed. The problem of injection of a water-vapor mixture into a two-dimensional mixture-saturated formation is solved and its numerical solution is compared with an exact solution of the corresponding one-dimensional self-similar problem. It is discovered that, instead of the unstable discontinuities in the one-dimensional formulation, in the two-dimensional case a lengthy mixing zone with a characteristic scale that increases self-similarly with time is formed.     

Stability of buoyancy-driven convection in an Oldroyd-B fluid-saturated anisotropic porous layer

The nonlinear stability of thermal convection in a layer of an Oldroyd-B fluid-saturated Darcy porous medium with anisotropic permeability and thermal diffusivity is investigated with the perturbation method. A modified Darcy-Oldroyd model is used to describe the flow in a layer of an anisotropic porous medium. The results of the linear instability theory are delineated. The thresholds for the stationary and oscillatory convection boundaries are established, and the crossover boundary between them is demarcated by identifying a codimension-two point in the viscoelastic parameter plane. The stability of the stationary and oscillatory bifurcating solutions is analyzed by deriving the cubic Landau equations. It shows that these solutions always bifurcate supercritically. The heat transfer is estimated in terms of the Nusselt number for the stationary and oscillatory modes. The result shows that, when the ratio of the thermal to mechanical anisotropy parameters increases, the heat transfer decreases.     

Parameters inversion of fluid-saturated porous media based on neural networks

The multi-layers feedforward neural network is used for inversion of material constants of fluid-saturated porous media. The direct analysis of fluid-saturated porous media is carried out with the boundary element method. The dynamic displacement responses obtained from direct analysis for prescribed material parameters constitute the sample sets training neural network. By virtue of the effective L-M training algorithm and the Tikhonov regularization method as well as the GCV method for an appropriate selection of regularization parameter, the inverse mapping from dynamic displacement responses to material constants is performed. Numerical examples demonstrate the validity of the neural network method.

On dispersive propagation of surface waves in patchy saturated porous media

Frequency-dependent velocity and attenuation for Rayleigh-wave propagation along a vacuum/patchy saturated porous medium interface are investigated in the low frequency band (0.1–1000 Hz). Conventional patchy saturation models for compressional waves are extended to account for Rayleigh wave propagation along a free surface. The mesoscopic interaction of fluid and solid phases, as a dominant loss mechanism in patchy saturated media, significantly affects Rayleigh-wave propagation and attenuation. Researches on the dispersion characteristics at low frequencies with different gas fractions in patchy saturated media also demonstrate a strong correlation between the Rayleigh-wave mode and the fast compressional wave. Especially, the strongest attenuation with the maximum value of 1/Q$1/Q$ for Rayleigh waves are obtained in the frequency range of 1–200 Hz. Numerical results show that the significant dependence of velocity and attenuation on frequencies and gas fractions presents a distinctive dynamical response of Rayleigh waves in the time domain.
