According to the former researcher’s presented relations for flow through rock-fill porous media, the effects of physical characteristics was not studied separately. Hence, due to the application of these relations, physical characteristics of porous materials effect must be investigated separately. In various constructed physical models of porous media, the effect of several variables such as ...

This paper presents numerical analysis of electroosmotic flows (EOF) in charged anisotropic porousmedia using the lattice Poisson-Boltzmannmethod (LPBM), which combines two sets of lattice evolution methods solving the nonlinear Poisson equation for electric potential distribution and the Navier-Stokes equations for fluid flow respectively. Consistent boundary condition implementations are prop...

Wepresent a revised formof the energy balance for the coupled thermodynamics of liquid water flowing in porousmedia and give examples of situations where a commonly used formulation based on transport of enthalpy leads to erroneous results. Assuming negligible contribution from kinetic energy as well as sources and sinks such as energy from radioactive decay, total energy conservation is reduce...

Multiphase flow in porous media provides a wide range of applications: from the environmental understanding (aquifer, site-pollution) to industrial process improvements (oil production, waste management). Modeling of such flows involves specific volume-averaged equations and therefore specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools. In this work, we develop a toolbox for modeling multiphase f...

the transport of dissolved contaminants in groundwater is usually described by the advectiondispersion equation with reaction. several numerical methods for solving the one-dimensional are availableincluding finite difference methods, finite volume methods, and finite element methods. stringent conditions,such as small peclet (pe) and courant (cr) numbers, must be satisfied to ensure the accura...

current global water shortage and water pollution problem are some of the crucial issues in theworld, especially in the arid zones. the wastewater reuse was investigated the efficiency of fecal coliform(fc) removal using the intermittent media infiltration (imi) with varying soil content and natural porousmedia (sand, zeolite, vermicompost and charcoal), and its prediction was introduced by app...

The objective of this study was to examine the pore-scale distribution and morphology of organic immiscible liquid in natural porous media containing three immiscible fluids. High-resolution, threedimensional images of an organic liquid (tetrachloroethene) in both three-phase (water–air–organic liquid) and two-phase (water–organic liquid) systems were obtained using synchrotron X-ray microtomog...

We present results of lattice-Boltzmann simulations to calculate flow in realistic porous media. Two examples are given for lattice-Boltzmann simulations in twoand threedimensional (2D and 3D) rock samples. First, we show lattice-Boltzmann simulation results of the flow in quasi-two-dimensional micromodels. The third dimension was taken into account using an effective viscous drag force. In thi...
