Lateral flow or dipstick assays (e.g., home pregnancy tests), where an analyte solution is drawn through a porous membrane and is detected by localization onto a capture probe residing at a specific site on the flow strip, are the most commonly and extensively used type of diagnostic assay. However, after over 30 years of use, these assays are constrained to measuring one or a few analytes at a...

The purpose of present problem is to studies of effects of variable viscosity and heat source on unsteady laminar flow of dusty conducting fluid between parallel porous plates through porous medium with temperature dependent viscosity. The fluid is considered as unsteady laminar flow through porous medium and acted upon by a constant pressure gradient and an external uniform magnetic field is a...

pore network modeling uses a network of pores connected by throats to model the void space of a porous medium and tries to predict its various characteristics during multiphase flow of various fluids. in most cases, a non-realistic regular lattice of pores is used to model the characteristics of a porous medium. although some methodologies for extracting geologically realistic irregular network...

In this work, we first reformulate the unsteady flow of gas through a porous medium problem in [0,+∞) to a problem in [-1,1] by variable transformation μ = (x-s)/(x+s), and using spectral collocation method based on Chebyshev polynomials to approximate the resulting problem. The comparison of the results obtained by this method with results obtained by other methods shows that this method provi...

We study the asymptotic behavior of compressible isentropic flow through porous medium when the initial mass is finite. The model system is the compressible Euler equation with frictional damping. As t → ∞, the density is conjectured to obey to the well-known porous medium equation and the momentum is expected to be formulated by Darcy’s law. In this paper, we prove that any L∞ weak entropy sol...

We study the flow, through a model two-dimensional porous medium, of Newtonian fluids, power-law fluids, and viscoplastic fluids in the laminar regime and with moderate or dominant effects of the yielding term. A numerical technique able to take properly into account yielding effects in viscoplastic flows without any regularization is used to determine the detailed flow characteristics. We show...

The coefficients of dispersion, Dij , and the dispersivity, aijkl , appear in the expression for the flux of a solute in saturated flow through porous media. We present a detailed analysis of these tensors in an axially symmetric porous medium and show that in such a medium, the dispersivity is governed by 6 independent moduli. We present also the constraints that have to be satisfied by these ...

A assumed to be applied perpendicularly surface. similarity transformation used which reduces partial differential equation ordinary equati...
