Numerical Study of the Effect of Permeability in Single-Phase Flow in Porous Media, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Sadrhosseini, Hani (Supervisor) ; Ashjari, Mohammad Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Present study is to simulate laminar flow in a channel exposed to heat flux from the walls and filled with porous media by software ANSYS CFX in finite volume method. The analysis is based on the Naviere-Stokes equations in the flow field which are modified to Brinkman-Forchheimer equations to be applicable for porous media. Effect of Reynolds number and permeability on seepage velocity, temperature distribution, heat transfer and pressure drop are investigated.Simulations are performed for two cases: fully developed flow at the entrance of the porous media and developing flow, which are corresponding to the Reynolds numbers of Re=77.6 and Re=1553 respectively (U= 0.01 m/s and U= 0.2 m/s)....
