چکیده
In the past few years we have been involved in the development and implementation of parallel finite element and pseudo-spectral methods for porous media flow. In this paper we present a brief review of our methods and show several examples of highly nonlinear simulations in two and three-dimensions, on different current high performance computers. New issues on finite element techniques and pseudo-spectral methods are also addressed.

Absolute Permeability Calculation by Direct Numerical Simulation in Porous Media
Simulating fluid flow at micro level is an ongoing problem. Simplified macroscopic flow models like Darcy’s law is unable to estimate fluid dynamic properties of porous media. The digital sample reconstruction by high resolution X-ray computed tomography scanning and fluid-dynamics simulation, together with the increasing power of super-computers, allow to carry out pore-scale simulations throu...
متن کاملSlip flow in porous micro-tubes under local thermal non-equilibrium conditions
In the present work, forced convection heat transfer of slip flow in porous micro-tubes with local thermal non-equilibrium between the gas and the solid matrix is investigated numerically. For this purpose, the flow is considered hydrodynamically developed but thermally developing. The Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model in conjunction with separate energy equations for the gas and the solid matri...
متن کاملCapillary Effects on Surface Enhancement in a Non-Homogeneous Fibrous Porous Medium
The evaluation of a free fluid surface in a porous medium has several mathematical applications that are important in industries using molds, particularly in the fluid injection process. The vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process is a promising technology in the primary composite industry. An accurate computational simulation of the VARTM process would be a cost-effective tool i...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of the Permeability and Inertial Effect on Fluid Flow through Homogeneous Porous Media
The value of the permeability in fluid flow through porous media is important for process investigation. In low Reynolds number, the classic Darcy’s law is suitable for simulation of fluid flow. In this paper, an experimental study for evaluation of preformed fiber permeability has been done. Also, the deviations from the classical Darcy law by experimental and numerical simulation of the N...
متن کاملCFD Simulation of Dry and Wet Pressure Drops and Flow Pattern in Catalytic Structured Packings
Type of packings and characteristics of their geometry can affect the flow behavior in the reactive distillation columns. KATAPAK SP is one the newest modular catalytic structured packings (MCSP) that has been used in the reactive distillation columns, recently. However, there is not any study on the hydrodynamics of this packing by using computational fluid dynamics. In the present work, a 3D ...
