چکیده

We consider a model for non-static groundwater flow where the saturation-pressure relation is extended by a dynamic term. This approach together with a convective term due to gravity, results in a pseudo-parabolic Burgers type equation. We give a rigorous study of global travelling wave solutions, with emphasis on the role played by the dynamic term and the appearance of fronts.

A Model Problem for Unsaturated Porous Media Flow with Dynamic Capillary Pressure

We consider a simplified model of vertical non-static groundwater flow, resulting in a Burgers’ diffusive equation extended with a third order term with mixed derivatives in space and time. This model is motivated by previous work on the existence of travelling wave solutions on a more general model. We investigate stability of travelling wave solutions of the simplified model, for which we fir...

Transport Property Estimation of Non-Uniform Porous Media

In this work a glass micromodel which its grains and pores are non-uniform in size, shape and distribution is considered as porous medium. A two-dimensional random network model of micromodel with non-uniform pores has been constructed. The non-uniformity of porous model is achieved by assigning parametric distribution functions to pores throat and pores length, which was measured using ima...

Capillary Effects on Surface Enhancement in a Non-Homogeneous Fibrous Porous Medium

The evaluation of a free fluid surface in a porous medium has several mathematical applications that are important in industries using molds, particularly in the fluid injection process. The vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process is a promising technology in the primary composite industry. An accurate computational simulation of the VARTM process would be a cost-effective tool i...

Modeling and investigating the effect of ultrasound waves pressure on the microbubble oscillation dynamics in microvessels containing an incompressible fluid (Research Article)

Understanding the dynamics of microbubble oscillation in an elastic microvessel is important for the safe and effective applications of ultrasound contrast agents in imaging and therapy. Numerical simulations based on 2D finite element model are performed to investigate the effect of acoustic parameters such as pressure and frequency on the dynamic interaction of the fluid-blood-vessel system. ...

A global existence result for the equations describing unsaturated flow in porous media with dynamic capillary pressure

In this paper we investigate the pseudoparabolic equation ∂tc = div { k (c) μ ( − P ′ C (c)∇c + τ∇∂tc + gρen )} , where τ is a positive constant, c is the moisture content, k is the hydraulic conductivity and PC is the static capillary pressure. This equation describes unsaturated flows in porous media with dynamic capillary pressure saturation relationship. In general, such models arise in a n...
