Abstract The author points out that the equation which appears to define flow through granular media is essentially identical to the equation for flow through pipes, but the expression is not useful to determine resistance to flow through granular media unless some of the variables are modified. The author discusses these variables and sets up formulas to determine the resistance to flow through granular media. He gives experimental results which show close agreement between calculated and observed values.

Abstract. Fluid flow on different scales is of interest for several Earth science disciplines like petrophysics, hydrogeology and volcanology. To parameterize fluid flow in large-scale numerical simulations (e.g. groundwater and volcanic systems), flow properties on the microscale need to be considered. For this purpose experimental and numerical investigations of flow through porous media over a wide range of porosities are necessary. In the present study we sinter glass bead media with various porosities. The microstructure, namely effective porosity and effective specific surface, is investigated using image processing. We determine flow properties like hydraulic tortuosity and permeability using both experimental measurements and numerical simulations. By fitting microstructural and flow properties to porosity, we obtain a modified Kozeny-Carman equation for isotropic low-porosity media, that can be used to simulate permeability in large-scale numerical models. To verify the modified Kozeny-Carman equation we compare it to the computed and measured permeability values.

Strain Data

Comprehensive pressure tests have been carried out on thick-walled, closed-ended cylinders made from a mild steel and a hardened and tempered steel, the maximum pressure reached being 94,000 lb/in.2 The complete theoretical behavior of the cylinders is computed from shear stress-strain data obtained from torsion tests and is shown to be in very close agreement with the experimental results. In addition, a method is given for deriving the large strain behavior of the cylinders from tension test data. When compared with the experimental results this approach gives larger errors, the theoretical values of pressure being consistently high. Finally, ultimate pressures have been calculated from two empirical expressions.

In harbors affected by ocean swells,cargo handlings are often interrupted and irooring lines are broken as a result of severe ship motionsl). In order to decrease such accidents, the noored ship notions in a harbor basin must be studied. In this paper the ship notions in the harbor basin are investigated by using three dimensional Green's function and close agreement between theoretical and experimental results can be found. New methods to reduce noored ship motion are also proposed. The efficiency of these methods is verified theoretically and experimentally.

Measurements of the resistance to flow through packed beds of inert spheres have been reported by a number of authors through relations expressing the coefficient of drag as a function of Reynolds number. A meta-analysis of the data using improved statistical methods is undertaken to aggregate the available experimental results. For Reynolds number in excess of 103 the relation log Fv = 0.49 + 0.90 log Re′ is shown to be a highly effective representation of all available data.

Good Agreement

An experimental study was conducted on the heat transfer characteristics of flow through a porous channel with discrete heat sources on the upper wall. The temperatures along the heated channel wall were measured with different heat fluxes and the local Nusselt numbers were calculated at the different Reynolds numbers. The temperature distribution of the fluid inside the channel was also measured at several points. The experimental results were compared with that predicted by an analytical model using the Green’s integral over the discrete sources, and a good agreement between the two was obtained. The experimental results confirmed that the heat transfer would be more significant at leading edges of the strip heaters and at higher Reynolds numbers.

Artificial Neural Network Ann

The study examined artificial neural network (ANN) modeling for the prediction of chlorpyrifos, cypermethrin and chlorothalonil pesticides degradation by the FeGAC/H2O2 process. The operating condition was the optimum condition from a series of experiments. Under these conditions; FeGAC 5 g/L, H2O2 concentration 100 mg/L, pH 3 and 60 min reaction time, the COD removal obtained was 96.19%. The ANN model was developed using a three-layer multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network to predict pesticide degradation in terms of COD removal. The configuration of the model with the smallest mean square error (MSE) of 0.000046 contained 5 inputs, 9 hidden and, 1 output neuron. The Levenberg–Marquardt backpropagation training algorithm was used for training the network, while tangent sigmoid and linear transfer functions were used at the hidden and output neurons, respectively. The predicted results were in close agreement with the experimental results with correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.9994 i.e. 99.94% showing a close agreement to the actual experimental results. The sensitivity analysis showed that FeGAC dose had the highest influence with relative importance of 25.33%. The results show how robust the ANN model could be in the prediction of the behavior of the FeGAC/H2O2 process.

Permeability Increase

Experimental studies have been carried out on fluid flow through porous media made up of randomly packed monodisperse fibers. The permeability and the Kozeny-Carman parameter kk are deduced from experimental results. The variations of the permeability increase exponentially with the porosity. The parameter kk is a decreasing function of the porosity ε and tends asymptotically to a value close to that deduced from a modified Ergun relation. The important decrease, observed for small aspect ratios, is certainly an effect of the cut sections of fibers. The results in terms of parameter kk are systematically compared to those deduced from various theoretical models. The variation laws of the parameter kk, deduced from different models, present important discrepancies with our experimental results.
