Transport in Porous Media with Nonlinear Flow Condition
We investigate local aspects and heterogeneities of porous medium morphology and relate them to the relevant mechanisms of momentum transfer. In the inertial flow range, there are very few experimental data that allow to recognize the effects of porous structure on the flow and transport through porous media. An experimental analysis was performed in order to understand above processes at different Reynolds numbers in randomly structured porous media. The objective of the analysis is to explore the effects of porous media particle size on inertial and viscous forces and determine range of the Reynolds numbers in which the inertial flow predominantly contributes in dispersive processes. Transport characteristics of the randomly structured porous media and the influence of inertial force on longitudinal and transverse dispersion coefficients were studied.
