In this paper natural convection heat transfer within a two-dimensional, horizontal, concentric cam shape cylinders that is partially filled with a fluid saturated porous medium has been investigated. both cylinder are kept at constant and uniform temperatures with the outer cylinder being subjected relatively lower than the inner one. In addition the forchheimer and brinkman effect are taken i...

In this paper wave transformation in a submerged sloped breakwater and its hydraulic performance was simulated by developing a numerical model in Fortran. The code was established by combining porous flow and a two-phase model using VOF method. Modified Navier-Stokes and k-ε equations implemented to the model to simulate the flow in porous media. Cut cell method was modified to simulate...

This thesis details the process taken for the computational modelling of convective heat transfer in porous media with the objective of improving the accuracy of porous continuum models. CFD simulations were performed to predict convective heat transfer resulting from forced flow through highly conductive porous blocks. For the pore-level predictions, an idealized geometric model for spherical-...

the permeability and tortuosity of pore-scale two and three-dimensional random porous media were calculated using the lattice boltzmann method (lbm). effects of geometrical parameters of medium on permeability and tortuosity were investigated as well. two major models of random porous media were reconstructed by computerized tomography method: randomly distributed rectangular obstacles in a uni...

Sr. Editor. Recientemente se ha publicado el artículo “Niveles de hemoglobina y anemia en gestantes adolescentes atendidas en establecimientos del Ministerio de Salud del Perú, 2009-2012” (1). Los resultados muestran que la tasa de anemia en zonas menores a 1000 metros de altitud sobre el nivel del mar es de 20,7%, sin embargo, los valores en las zonas altoandinas son casi el doble, llegando a ...

unsteady hydromagnetic generalised couette flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid between two horizontal parallel porous plates darcian channel in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field taking hall current and ion-slip into account in a rotating system is investigated. an exact solution of the governing equations is obtained by laplace transform techniq...

in this work a glass micromodel which its grains and pores are non-uniform in size, shape and distribution is considered as porous medium. a two-dimensional random network model of micromodel with non-uniform pores has been constructed. the non-uniformity of porous model is achieved by assigning parametric distribution functions to pores throat and pores length, which was measured using image a...

abstract porous materials are commonly found in nature and as industrial materials such as wood, carbon, foams, ceramics and bricks. in order to use them effectively, their mechanical properties must be understood in relation to their micro-structures. foam made from non-flammable metal will remain non-flammable and the foam is generally recyclable back to its base material. this research work ...

in studies done on porous burner, generally burners with axial flow are considered. in this paper, porous burners with radial and axial flow have been modeled numerically and results of radial and axial porous burners with equal fuel consumptions are compared. the mechanism used in combustion phenomenon is 15 stage mechanisms which predict the pollutions production precisely. the results show a...

chemical flooding, especially alkaline/surfactant/polymer flooding, is of increasing interest due to the world increasing oil demand. this work shows the aspects of using alkaline/surfactant/polymer as an enhanced oil recovery method in the porous media having a high dead-end pore frequency with various dead-end pore parameters (such as opening, depth, aspect ratio, and orientation). using glas...
