High-Speed Flow Through Porous Media

Abstract

A new model called the capillary-orifice model for flow of fluids through a porous media is presented. A comparison between the capillary-orifice model theory and experimental data on pressure drop through porous media shows a close correlation. A computer program is developed to study the effects of temperature dependant flow geometry on steady flow of a gas through porous media taking into account variable viscosity, viscous dissipation and a first order, temperature dependent irreversible catalytic reaction An experimental and theoretical analysis is made of two interacting planar pressure waves. The waves are generated by application of pressure step functions to the opposite faces of a porous core. An unsteady state computer program is developed to handle the associated nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations.
