چکیده

A novel numerical method is presented for the simulation of flow in porous media, based on a mesoscopic-scale modelling using smoothed particle hydrodynamics. The method is demonstrated to provide encouraging results for both saturated and unsaturated porous media flow. The Darcy law is confirmed for low drift velocities in a saturated medium, while nonlinear behaviour is observed for higher values. The application of the method to mould filling demonstrates its ability to predict edge effects associated with resin transfer moulding. The time dependence of the computed resin surface for this unsaturated porous medium exhibits good qualitative agreement with experimental results.

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics and its applications for multiphase flow and reactive transport in porous media

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is a Lagrangian method based on a meshless discretization of partial differential equations. In this review, we present SPH discretization of the Navier-Stokes and advection-diffusionreaction equations, implementation of various boundary conditions, and time integration of the SPH equations, and we discuss applications of the SPH method for modeling pore-sc...

Numerical Simulation of Squeezed Flow of a Viscoplastic Material by a Three-step Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Method

In the current work, the mesh free Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method, was employed to numerically investigate the transient flow of a viscoplastic material. Using this method, large deformation of the sample and its free surface boundary were captured without the cumbersome process of the grid generation. This three-step SPH scheme employs an explicit predictor-corrector technique an...

Investigating the Third Order Solitary Wave Generation Accuracy using Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

This paper examines the generation and propagation of a Third order solitary water wave along the channel. First the Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (ISPH) numerical method is described and the boundary condition handling method is presented. The numerical model is then used to simulate solitary wave propagation along the fixed depth channel. The numerical results are compared wi...
