Using Lattice Boltzmann Method to Investigate the Effects of Porous Media on Heat Transfer from Solid Block inside a Channel
A numerical investigation of forced convection in a channel with hot solid block inside a square porous block mounted on a bottom wall was carried out. The lattice Boltzmann method was applied for numerical simulations. The fluid flow in the porous media was simulated by Brinkman-Forchheimer model. The effects of parameters such as porosity and thermal conductivity ratio over flow pattern and t...
متن کاملNumerical assessment of 3D macrodispersion in heterogeneous porous media
Hydrodynamic dispersion is a key controlling factor of solute transport in heterogeneous porous media. It critically depends on dimensionality. The asymptotic macrodispersion, transverse to the mean velocity direction, vanishes only in 2D and not in 3D. Using the classical Gaussian correlated permeability fields with a lognormal distribution of variance σ Y 2 , the longitudinal and transverse d...
متن کاملValidation of SUTRA Model for Different Salinity Transport Scenarios in a Heterogeneous Sand Tank to Evaluate Transverse Dispersivity
Nowadays, with the increasing population in Iran, especially in arid and semi-arid areas, as a result of the growing importance of the quality of water resources, including groundwater, field experiments and many simulations have been conducted for the development of groundwater contamination through powerful and up- to- date software. However, in most cases, there is a tangible difference betw...
متن کاملHydraulic fracture propagation: analytical solutions versus Lattice simulations
In this work, we used a grain-based numerical model based on the concept of lattice. The modelling was done to simulate the lab experiments carried out on the mortar samples. Also the analytical solutions corresponding to the viscosity-dominated regime were used to estimate the fracture length and width, and the results obtained were compared with the numerical simulations. As the analytical so...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation and Estimation of the Transvers Macrodispersivity Coefficient of Aqueous Phase (Miscible) Contaminants of Salt Water in a Heterogeneous and Homogeneous Porous Media
Deterioration of groundwater resources in coastal regions due to the progression of saline water in aquifers in these regions is currently one of the important issues in providing water needs in these areas. In coastal regions, saline water enters the aquifer from below in shape of wedge. Due to the difference in the density between fresh and salty water, an interface zone forms between two flu...
