A model problem is analysed to study the microscopic flow near the surface of two-dimensional porous media. In the idealized problem we consider axial flow through infinite and semi-infinite lattices of cylindrical inclusions. The effect of lattice geometry and inclusion shape on the permeability and surface flow are examined. Calculations show that the definition of a slip coefficient for a porous medium is meaningful only for extremely dilute systems. Brinkman's equation gives reasonable predictions for the rate of decay of the mean velocity for certain simple geometries, but fails for to predict the correct behaviour for media anisotropic in the plane normal to the flow direction.
A model problem is analysed to study the microscopic flow near the surface of porous media. In the idealized system, we consider two-dimensional media consisting of infinite and semi-infinite periodic lattices of cylindrical inclusions. In Part 1, results for axial flow were presented. In this work results for transverse flow are presented and discussed in the context of macroscopic approaches such as slip coefficients and Brinkman's equation.
Calculations are presented for a periodic grain consolidation model of porous media. The model is an extension of previous work on lattices of spheres, in which the radius of the spheres is allowed to increase past the point of close touching to form a consolidated medium. A collocation method is used for the solution of Stokes flow in terms of Lamb’s general solution in spherical coordinates. Excellent accuracy is achieved with only moderate computational effort. At low concentrations up to the close touching limit excellent agreement is found with the earlier calculations of Zick and Homsy [J. Fluid Mech. 115, 13 (1982)]. For high concentrations above the close touching limit, an asymptotic theory is presented that agrees within a few percent with the numerical computations over the entire consolidated range.
