Stromungen durch monodisperse Kugelschuttungen bei Berucksichtigung des WandeffektsInfluence of the Wall Effect on the Flow Through a Bed of Monodisperse Spheres
The influence of the wall effect on the liquid flow through a porous bed of spheres in a planar casing is investigated. The porosity in the wall-effect region is determined experimentally. Further experiments lead to a suitable model for the permeability in the wall-effect region. Functions are determined correcting the volumetric flow rate and the permeability depending on the wall effect.
