There has been a surge of work on models for coupling surface-water with groundwater flows which is at its core the Stokes-Darcy problem, as well as methods for uncoupling the problem into subdomain, subphysics solves. The resulting (Stokes-Darcy) fluid velocity is important because the flow transports contaminants. The numerical analysis and algorithm development for the evolutionary transport...

Understanding and controlling fluids flow at the microscale is a matter of growing scientific and technological interest. Flow enhancements of water-based nanoparticle dispersions through microscale porous media are investigated through twelve hydrophilic sedimentary rocks with pore-throat radius between 1.2 and 10 μm, which are quantitatively explained with a simple model with slip length corr...

The subject of this paper is a first-order system least-squares formulation for the Stokes equation which remains uniformly valid in the limit of vanishing viscosity. For this so-called Darcy-Stokes flow problem we establish continuity and coercivity of the corresponding least-squares functional in appropriate norms. Two types of finite element spaces for the approximation of the velocity field...

Pore-scale forces have a significant effect on the macroscopic behaviour of multiphase flow through porous media. This paper studies the effect of these forces using a new volume-of-fluid based finite volume method developed for simulating two-phase flow directly on micro-CT images of porous media. An analytical analysis of the relationship between the pore-scale forces and the Darcy-scale pres...

This paper presents a two-grid method for solving systems of partial differential equations modelling free flow coupled with porous media flow. This work considers both the coupled Stokes and Darcy as well as the coupled Navier-Stokes and Darcy problems. The numerical schemes proposed are based on combinations of the continuous finite element method and the discontinuous Galerkin method. Numeri...

numerical study of double-diffusive natural convective heat transfer in a curved cavity filledwith a porous medium has been carried out in the current study. polar system has beenselected as coordinate system. as a result, all equations have been discredited in r and θdirections. brinkmann extended darcy model has been utilized to express fluid flow inporous matrix in the enclosure. smaller and...

Mixed convection in an obstructed cavity with heated horizontal walls is investigated in this work. Brinkman-Forchheimer-extended Darcy model is utilized to describe the flow characteristics within a porous medium for different angles of attack with respect to the forced convection. Numerical results are obtained for a wide range of Grashof numbers (10–10), Reynolds numbers (10–10), Darcy numbe...

Here we are concerned with the Darcy-Forchheimer three-dimensional flow of carbon nanotubes in a rotating frame. Flow is generated by stretching of the surface. Xue model is adopted for nanofluid transport mechanism. Results for single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi wall carbon nanotubes are achieved and compared. Flow saturating porous space obeys Darcy-Forchheimer expression. Bounda...
