Abstract:Convective acceleration occurs in porous media flows due to the spatial variations of the nonuniform flow channel geometry of natural pores. This article demonstrates that the influence of convective acceleration in a nonuniform a pore channel is analogous to that of a constricting pipe channel. Their fluid mechanical behaviour can be comparable, provided that their geometrical characteristics are described precisely in the same manner, and from the same point of reference with regards to the fluid velocity in… Show more
