Approximate analytic solutions of stagnation point flow in a porous medium

An efficient and new implicit perturbation technique is used to obtain approximate analytical series solution of Brinkmann equation governing the two-dimensional stagnation point flow in a porous medium. Analytical approximate solution of the classical two-dimensional stagnation point flow is obtained as a limiting case. Also, it is shown that the obtained higher order series solutions agree well with the computed numerical solutions.     

Composite expansion solution of fingero-imbibition in double phase flow through underground porous medium

The phenomenon of fingero imbibition due to simultaneous occurrence of imbibition and instabilities in double phase flow through homogeneous porous media is discussed by the method of composite expansion. The injected liquid is less viscous and preferentially wetting with respect to the porous media, and coefficient of saturation is considered as constant.

Analytic approximate solutions for heat transfer of a micropolar fluid through a porous medium with radiation

This paper aims to present complete analytic solution to heat transfer of a micropolar fluid through a porous medium with radiation. Homotopy analysis method (HAM) has been used to get accurate and complete analytic solution. The analytic solutions of the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations are constructed in the series form. The convergence of the obtained series solutions is carefully analyzed. The velocity and temperature profiles are shown and the influence of coupling constant, permeability parameter and the radiation parameter on the heat transfer is discussed in detail. The validity of our solutions is verified by the numerical results (fourth-order Runge–Kutta method and shooting method).     

Homogenization of an incompressible viscous flow in a porous medium with double porosity

We study the homogenization of an incompressible viscous flow in a porous medium with double porosity. We derive a macroscopic model with local Navier–Stokes system in the large cavities, Darcy law in the thinner porous rock, and a contact law between the two. We use Γ-convergence methods associated with multi-scale convergence notions in order to get this limit law. We exhibit a critical ratio between the two scales of the pores.     

Peristaltic flow of a micropolar fluid through a porous medium in the presence of an external magnetic field

This paper presents an analytical study of the MHD flow of a micropolar fluid through a porous medium induced by sinusoidal peristaltic waves traveling down the channel walls. Low Reynolds number and long wavelength approximations are applied to solve the non-linear problem in the closed form and expressions for axial velocity, pressure rise per wavelength, mechanical efficiency and stream function are obtained. The impacts of pertinent parameters on the aforementioned quantities are examined by plotting graphs on the basis of computational results. It is found that the pumping improves with Hartman number but degrades with permeability of the porous medium.     

Exact solution of thermal radiation on MHD flow over a stretching porous sheet

The effect of radiation on MHD steady asymmetric flow of an electrically conducting fluid past a stretching porous sheet in the presence of radiation has been analyzed. Exact solutions for the velocity and temperature fields have been derived and the effects of radiation, magnetic, Prandtl number, wall temperature and suction (or injection) parameters have been studied with the help of graphs.     

Homogenization of the inviscid incompressible fluid flow through a 2D porous medium

We consider the non-stationary incompressible Euler equations in a 2D porous medium. We suppose a periodic porous medium, with the period proportional to the characteristic pore size and with connected fluid part. The flow is subject to an external force, corresponding to an inflow. We start from an initial irrotational velocity and prove that the effective filtration velocity satisfies a transient filtration law. It has similarities with Darcy's law, but it now connects the time derivative of the filtration velocity with the pressure gradient. The viscosity does not appear in the filtration law any more and the permeability tensor is determined through auxiliary problems of decomposition type. Using the limit problem, we construct the correction for the fluid velocity and prove that -norm of the error is of order . Similarly, we estimate the difference between the fluid pressure and its correction in as .

     

On the uniqueness of the solution of a nonlinear filtration problem through a porous medium

The purpose of this work is to study a fluid flow through a porous medium governed by a nonlinear Darcy's law. We also impose a nonlinear semi-permeability condition on some part of the boundary of this medium. The main results are the continuity of the free boundary and the uniqueness of the solution.

MHD free convective flow through porous medium in the presence of hall current, radiation and thermal diffusion

An unsteady free convective flow through porous media of viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid through a vertical porous channel with thermal radiation is studied. A magnetic field of uniform strength is applied perpendicular to the vertical channel. The magnetic Reynolds number is assumed very small so that the induced magnetic field effect is negligible. The injection and suction velocity at both plates is constant and is given by v ₀. The pressure gradient in the channel varies periodically with time along the axis of the channel. The temperature difference of the plates is high enough to induce the radiative heat. Taking Hall current and Soret effect into account, equations of motion, energy, and concentration are solved. The effects of the various parameters, entering into the problem, on velocity, temperature and concentration field are shown graphically.     

On the stability and uniqueness of the flow of a fluid through a porous medium

In this short note, we study the stability of flows of a fluid through porous media that satisfies a generalization of Brinkman’s equation to include inertial effects. Such flows could have relevance to enhanced oil recovery and also to the flow of dense liquids through porous media. In any event, one cannot ignore the fact that flows through porous media are inherently unsteady, and thus, at least a part of the inertial term needs to be retained in many situations. We study the stability of the rest state and find it to be asymptotically stable. Next, we study the stability of a base flow and find that the flow is asymptotically stable, provided the base flow is sufficiently slow. Finally, we establish results concerning the uniqueness of the flow under appropriate conditions, and present some corresponding numerical results.     

Steady flow in a deformable porous medium

A nonlinear model for a steady flow in a deformable porous medium is considered. The flow is governed by the poroelasticity system consisting of an elasticity equation for the displacement of the porous medium and Darcy's equation for the pressure in the fluid. This poroelasticity system is nonlinear when the permeability in Darcy's equation is assumed to depend on the dilatation of the porous medium. Existence and uniqueness of a weak solution of this poroelasticity system is established under rather weak assumptions on the regularity of the data. Convergence of a finite element approximation is proved and verified through numerical experiments. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Effective medium model for flow through beds of porous cylindrical fibres

We have used effective medium model for beds of circular cylindrical porous fibres in order to estimate the overall bed permeability (OBP). It is assumed that a representative circular porous cylindrical fibre is inside a fluid envelope beyond which effective medium is used. Both inside the cylindrical fibre and in the effective medium, Brinkman equation is used, however of different permeabilities and in the fluid envelope Stokes equation is used. The OBP corresponding to the porous fibres is estimated when the flow direction is perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical fibres as well as parallel to the fibres. This in turn is used to estimate the OBP corresponding to a collection of porous cylindrical fibres that are randomly oriented. We have compared the results with some existing literature.
