Porous ultra-high-temperature ceramics (UHTCs) are a candidate group of materials for transpiration cooling hypersonic vehicles due to their exceptionally high melting point, typically above 3000 K. Their operating temperature permits higher amount radiative than that achievable with conventional materials, which reduces the required coolant mass flow rate cool surface. This work experimentally...

Three exact solutions are obtained for flow through porous media, as governed by the Darcy–Lapwood–Brinkman model, for a given vorticity distribution. The resulting flow fields are identified as reversing flows; stagnation point flows; and flows over a porous flat plate with blowing or suction. Dependence of the flow Reynolds number on the permeability of the flow through the porous medium is i...

We study numerical methods for solving a non-stationary mixed Stokes-Darcy problem that models coupled fluid flow and porous media flow. A decoupling approach based on interface approximation via temporal extrapolation is proposed for devising decoupled marching algorithms for the mixed model. Error estimates are derived and numerical experiments are conducted to demonstrate the computational e...

Abstract. Much of the work on flow through porous media, especially with regard to studies on the flow of oil, are based on “Darcy’s law” or modifications to it such as Darcy-Forchheimer or Brinkman models. While many theoretical and numerical studies concerning flow through porous media have taken into account the inhomogeneity and anisotropy of the porous solid, they have not taken into accou...

This paper formulates and analyzes a weak solution to the coupling of time-dependent Navier-Stokes flow with Darcy flow under certain boundary conditions, one of them being the Beaver-Joseph-Saffman law on the interface. Existence and a priori estimates for the weak solution are shown under additional regularity assumptions. We introduce a fully discrete scheme with the unknowns being the Navie...

Dusty gas flow through isotropic porous media is considered. The equations governing dusty gas flow through free space are intrinsically averaged in order to derive a comprehensive model that describes flow of a dusty gas through porous media. The developed model is capable of describing flow of mixtures with non-uniform number density through variable porosity media, while taking into account ...

This paper presents the study of the effects of variable thermal conductivity and Darcy-Forchheimer on magnetohydrodynamic free convective flow in a vertical channel in the presence of constant suction. The resulting governing equations are non-dimensionalised, simplified and solved using Crank Nicolson type of finite difference method. To check the accuracy of the numerical solution, steady-st...

We investigate the discretization of Darcy flow through fractured porous media on general polyhedral meshes. We consider a hybrid dimensional model, invoking a complex network of planar fractures. The model accounts for matrix-fracture interactions and fractures acting either as drains or as barriers, i.e. we have to deal with pressure discontinuities at matrix-fracture interfaces. The numerica...
