Brinkman − Forchheimer − Darcy Flow past an Impermeable Sphere Embedded in a Porous Medium
نویسنده
چکیده
The flow past an impermeable sphere embedded in a fluid saturated porous medium was studied numerically considering valid the Brinkman−Forchheimer−Darcy (or Brinkman−Hazen−Dupuit−Darcy) model. The flow is viscous, laminar, axisymmetric, steady and incompressible. The porous medium is isotropic, rigid and homogeneous. The stream function vorticity equations were solved numerically in spherical coordinates system by a multigrid method. The influence of the Darcy number and Forchheimer term on the velocities field was investigated for two boundary conditions on the surface of the sphere: slip and no slip.

Non-Darcy Forced Convective Heat Transfer in a Channel Embedded In a Non-Newtonian Inelastic Fluid-Saturated Porous Medium
The present analysis investigates non-Darcy forced convective heat transfer in a channel confined by two parallel walls subjected to uniform heat flux in a highly porous medium saturated with a non-Newtonian power-law fluid. Extensive numerical integrations have been carried out utilizing the Brinkman-Forchheimer extension of the Darcy model in order to study the effects of pseudoplasticity, an...
متن کاملBoundary Layer Flow Past a Stretching Surface in a Porous Medium Saturated by a Nanofluid: Brinkman-Forchheimer Model
In this study, the steady forced convection flow and heat transfer due to an impermeable stretching surface in a porous medium saturated with a nanofluid are investigated numerically. The Brinkman-Forchheimer model is used for the momentum equations (porous medium), whereas, Bongiorno's model is used for the nanofluid. Uniform temperature and nanofluid volume fraction are assumed at the surface...
