Abstract This study simulates pore-scale two-dimensional flows through porous media composed of circular grains with varied pore-scale heterogeneity to analyze non-Darcy flow effects on different types of porous media using the lattice Boltzmann method. The magnitude of non-Darcy coefficients and the critical Reynolds number of non-Darcy flow were computed from the simulation results using the Forchheimer equation. Although the simulated porous materials have similar porosity and representative grain diameters, larger non-Darcy coefficients and an earlier onset of non-Darcy flow were observed for more heterogeneous porous media. The simulation results were compared with existing correlations to predict non-Darcy coefficients, and the large sensitivity of non-Darcy coefficients to pore-scale heterogeneity was identified. The pore-scale heterogeneity and resulting flow fields were evaluated using the participation number. From the computed participation numbers and visualized flow fields, a significant channeling effect for heterogeneous media in the Darcy flow regime was confirmed compared with that for homogeneous media. However, when non-Darcy flow occurs, this channeling effect was alleviated. This study characterizes non-Darcy effect with alleviation of the channeling effect quantified with an increase in participation number. Our findings indicate a strong sensitivity of magnitude and onset of non-Darcy effect to pore-scale heterogeneity and imply the possibility of evaluating non-Darcy effect through numerical analysis of the channeling effect.

Equilibrium thermodynamics for porous media is considered with special emphasis on its basis in pore-scale thermodynamics. It is shown that porosity, the new purely macroscopic variable, enters the relations on the same footing as mass densities and the strain tensors. Biot’s use of elastic energy potential, which lies at the foundation of his theory of poroelasticity, is examined in light of the results obtained here.
