On the Boundary Condition at the Surface of a Porous Medium

A theoretical justification is given for an empirical boundary condition proposed by Beavers and Joseph [1]. The method consists of first using a statistical approach to extend Darcy's law to non homogeneous porous medium. The limiting case of a step function distribution of permeability and porosity is then examined by boundary layer techniques, and shown to give the required boundary condition. In an Appendix, the statistical approach is checked by using it to derive Einstein's law for the viscosity of dilute suspensions.     

非Darcy多孔介质中的非线性对流

利用温度-浓度-密度关系,研究非Darcy多孔介质中的自由对流问题.对于不同的惯性参数、传递参数、Rayleigh数、Lewis数、Soret数和Dufour数,分析了非线性温度参数和浓度参数对非线性对流的影响.浮力对对流起着辅助的附加作用,当惯性作用不计时,切向速度随着非线性温度和浓度的增加而急剧地增加.然而,当惯性效应不为0时,非线性温度和浓度对切向速度的影响是有限的.对两个传递参数、惯性影响参数以及控制非线性温度和浓度的其他参数,取不同的数值时,浓度分布有点儿变化,并在不同的范围内传播.随着非线性温度和浓度的增加,传热/传质在很大的范围内变化,这取决于是Dacry多孔介质,还是非Darcy多孔介质.当所有的影响(惯性的影响、两个传递系数的影响、Soret和Dufour的影响)同时为0/不为0,在非线性温度/浓度参数以及浮力的共同作用下,分析了传热/传质的变化.发现在Darcy多孔介质中,温度和浓度以及它们的交叉扩散,对传热/传质的影响,要比非Darcy多孔介质要大.发现了浮力的负面作用,随着非线性温度系数的增加,传热/传质率是提高的,而随着非线性浓度系数的增加,传热/传质率是下降的.     

Two-Component Two-Compressible Flow in a Porous Medium

We prove existence of solutions of a two-compressible (liquid and gas) phase flow model in porous media with two components (water and hydrogen). This model is obtained by writing the mass conservation for each component in each phase. We suppose that the mass exchange between dissolved hydrogen and hydrogen in the gas phase is supposed finite. This mass exchange is modeled by a source term on each mass conservation equations.     

Computation of Travelling Combustion Waves in a Porous Medium

Numerical solutions for travelling combustion waves in a porous medium are sought. The algorithm of computation is based on a shooting method used in an existence proof. The numerical result suggests that there is a limit for the inlet gas velocity below which no travelling wave solution can be constructed.     

Quark Coalescence Mechanism near the Threshold

The process of quark coalescence (coherent quark fusion) is described as a possible mechanism for forming cumulative particles. We evaluate and sum Feynman diagrams for the mechanism of coherent quark fusion near the cumulative thresholds. We analyze the interference between contributions due to different diagrams and the squaring of the coalescence process amplitude for one diagram and take it into account. We give closed formulas describing the process of forming cumulative particles in the coalescence mechanism.     

Traveling Wave Solutions for Combustion in a Porous Medium

Traveling wave solutions are sought for a model of combustion in a porous medium. The problem is formulated as a nonlinear eigenvalue problem for a system of ordinary differential equations of order four, defined over an infinite interval. A shooting method is used to prove existence, and a priori bounds for the solution and parameters are obtained.     

Numerical Analysis of the Interphase Interaction in a Porous Elastic Fluid-Saturated Medium

We consider dynamical processes in a two-phase porous fluid-saturated medium. The equation of the Biot–Frenkel model, which accounts for the influence of the elastic, inertial, and viscous interaction between the liquid and solid phases, is used for modeling the dynamics of the soil layer (flat deformation) with the finite-element method in cases of steady and nonstationary effects. For a layer under a uniaxial stress, we give numerical examples of the displacements of the soil skeleton and interstitial fluid.

Unconditional Nonlinear Stability in Temperature-Dependent Viscosity Flow in a Porous Medium

The equations of flow in porous media attributable to Forchheimer are considered. In particular, the problem of thermal convection in such a medium is addressed when the viscosity varies with temperature. It is shown that nonlinear stability may be achieved naturally for all initial data by working with L ³ or L ⁴ norms. It is also shown that L ² theory is not sufficient for such unconditional stability. Previous work has established nonlinear stability for vanishingly small initial data thresholds, but we believe this is the first analysis that addresses the important physical problem of unconditional stability. It is shown how to extend the nonlinear analysis for a viscosity linear in temperature to the cases when the viscosity may be quadratic or when penetrative convection is allowed in the layer.     

Regularizing the KdV Equation near a Blow-Up Surface

We propose a method for regularizing the Korteweg–de Vries equation near, rather than on, a blow-up surface. This allows showing that for sufficiently small initial data at x = 0, a blow-up surface exists nearby and is an analytic manifold.     

Fundamental Solution of the Anisotropic Porous Medium Equation

We establish the existence of fundamental solutions for the anisotropic porous medium equation, ut = ∑n i=1（u^mi）xixi in R^n × （O,∞）, where m1,m2,..., and mn, are positive constants satisfying min1≤i≤n{mi}≤ 1, ∑i^n=1 mi 〉 n - 2, and max1≤i≤n{mi} ≤1/n（2 ＋ ∑i^n=1 mi）.     

On the Generalized Porous Medium Equation in Fourier-Besov Spaces

We study a kind of generalized porous medium equation with fractional Laplacian and abstract pressure term. For a large class of equations corresponding to the form: $u_t+nu Lambda^{beta}u=nablacdot(unabla Pu)$, we get their local well-posedness in Fourier-Besov spaces for large initial data. If the initial data is small, then the solution becomes global. Furthermore, we prove a blowup criterion for the solutions.     

Instability in Porous Layers with Depth-Dependent Viscosity and Permeability

The paper is concerned with a multicomponent porous horizontal layer L with depth-dependent viscosity and permeability, heated from below and salted partly from below and partly from above. The instability of the thermal conduction solution, due to the growth of the gradient of temperature or of the gradient of chemical species salting L from above, is investigated.     

Unsteady Porous Flow with a Free Surface

Three different numerical methods for solving unsteady two-dimensionalporous flow problems with a free surface are presented. Thevelocity potential is expressed as the solution to a variationalproblem which is solved by a Rayleigh-Ritz expansion, a Kantorovichexpansion and a co-ordinate transformation method. The freesurface equation is solved by a Crank-Nicolson procedure. Thethree methods were tested on the same set of problems and theobtained results are virtually identical.
