Can I Do Porous media - Laminar Flow ??
Can I Do Porous media - Laminar Flow ??
(OP)
I'm looking for a FEA package that can model laminar flow through porous media - primarilarly gas, but poossibly also liquid flow. At the moment, I'm thinking that I might be able to use a low end application to run simple models, although I'm certainly awre that these assumptions can rapidly escalate.
Would Algor do this?
Know anyone who's doing it?
Would something else be better?
Thanks,
Randall
PS. Alternately, know of anybody who could do porous flow modeling on a consulting basis?

RE: Can I Do Porous media - Laminar Flow ??
If you look a macroscopic view to flow in porous media,you can use from equations like darcy equation for laminar flow , and equations like Forchheimer eq. for simulation of turbulent flow in porous. I developed a computer code for fulid in porous media. it is easy and you can also .Plaese read " Dynamics of fluid in porous media " by j. Bear , Elsevier Pub. , ISBN 0-444-00 114-x , this is good book for your porpose.
