Abstract: | The investigation of flow in essentially inhomogeneous porous systems through the analysis of model periodic structures 1] is considered. In the acoustic approximation, an integrodifferential equation is obtained that describes the motion of a viscous fluid in a rigid porous medium of periodic structure. The velocity vector and pressure are represented in the form of asymptotic series with respect to a small parameter that characterizes the size of the periodicity cell, and the well-known procedure for averaging linearized hydrodynamic equations with small coefficients of viscosity 2, 3] is also used. A solution is presented to the local problem in the periodicity cell for a structure consisting of a doubly periodic system of infinitely long rods of circular section and a compressible viscous fluid that fills the space between them, and also for a structure formed by a system of orthogonal rectilinear channels, filled with viscous fluid, in a solid.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, pp. 123–130, March–April, 1988. |
