Good day.

I'm seek assistance on prior experimental or analytical studies of (what I call) fluid flow through an unconfined vertical porous column. I've attached to this post a sketch of the configuration I'm looking at.

I'm aware of prior work on on flow through vertical porous columns confined by an impermeable tube or pipe and on flow through a porous dam or berm.

Thanks.

What's your question or area of uncertainty?

All depends on the amount of fluid flow out compared to fluid flow in the pipe.
