A determination of the effective viscosity for the Brinkman–Forchheimer flow model

Abstract: The effective viscosity μe for the Brinkman–Forchheimer flow (BFF) model has been determined experimentally for steady flow through a wall-bounded porous medium. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques were used to measure non-invasively the ensemble-average velocity profile of water flowing through a tube filled with an open-cell rigid foam of high porosity (ϕ = 0.972). By comparing these data with the BFF model, for which all remaining parameters were measured independently, it was determined that μe = (… Show more

“…For example, permeabilities of compressed foams as high as 8 Â 10 À 6 m 2 and for a 1 mm thick foam layer the equivalent Darcy number is equal to 8 (see Nield et al [36] and references therein). For a high porosity porous medium (e ¼0.972), Givler and Altobelli [37] have determined experimentally thatm f ¼ 7:5 þ 3:4 À2:4 m f , wherem f is the effective viscosity and m f is the fluid viscosity. Accordingly, the flow in the porous medium is described by the Brinkman-Lapwood extended Darcy equation with fluid viscosity different from effective or Brinkman viscosity.…”
