Characterization of a porous medium employing numerical tools: Permeability and pressure-drop from Darcy to turbulence

Numerical computation of macroscopic turbulence quantities in representative elementary volumes of the porous medium

“…The solver has been fully tested and validated for geometries including those presented in this study as well as for a broad range of Re (from Stokes flows to turbulent flows). Additional details regarding the numerical scheme and its implementation and validation are available in References [20,25].…”

“…Specific details related to numerical simulations such as initial conditions, grids, convergence tests, etc. are given in detail in [20,25].…”

Numerical Simulation of Heat Transfer in Porous Metals for Cooling Applications

“…For example, Teruel and Rizwan-Uddin [7] numerically calculated the interfacial heat transfer coefficient in porous media. Xin et al [8] numerically investigated the heat and mass transfer behaviors in porous media for multiphase flow.…”

Calculation of the interfacial heat transfer coefficient in porous media employing numerical simulations

“…They are often carried out in periodic and simple porous structures that allow extracting a rich variety of results (e.g. laminar and turbulent flows and large range of porosities) with an acceptable computational cost [3,4]. The h sf coefficient has not been an exception; for instance, Martin et al [5], numerically determined this coefficient (or, more precisely, the Nusselt number) considering a porous structure represented by a periodic and triangular array of cylinders, and Kuwahara et al [6] carried out numerical simulations in periodic arrays of staggered square rods for a large range of flow conditions (1 < Re D < 10 4 ), porosities (0.36 < / < 0.91) and a variety of Prandtl numbers.…”
