The interaction between a fluid flow and a transversely isotropic porous medium is described. A homogenized model is used to treat the flow field in the porous region, and different interface conditions, needed to match solutions at the boundary between the pure fluid and the porous regions, are evaluated. Two problems in different flow regimes (laminar and turbulent) are considered to validate the system, which includes inertia in the leading-order equations for the permeability tensor through a Oseen approximation. The components of the permeability, which characterize microscopically the porous medium and determine the flow field at the macroscopic scale, are reasonably well estimated by the theory, both in the laminar and the turbulent case. This is demonstrated by comparing the model’s results to both experimental measurements and direct numerical simulations of the Navier–Stokes equations which resolve the flow also through the pores of the medium.

An integrated two-dimensional vertical (2DV) model was developed to investigate wave interactions with permeable submerged breakwaters. The integrated model is capable of predicting the flow field in both surface water and porous media on the basis of the extended volume-averaged Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations (VARANS). The impact of porous medium was considered by the inclusion of the additional terms of drag and inertia forces into conventional Navier–Stokes equations. Finite volume method (FVM) in an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) formulation was adopted for discretization of the governing equations. Projection method was utilized to solve the unsteady incompressible extended Navier–Stokes equations. The time-dependent volume and surface porosities were calculated at each time step using the fraction of a grid open to water and the total porosity of porous medium. The numerical model was first verified against analytical solutions of small amplitude progressive Stokes wave and solitary wave propagation in the absence of a bottom-mounted barrier. Comparisons showed pleasing agreements between the numerical predictions and analytical solutions. The model was then further validated by comparing the numerical model results with the experimental measurements of wave propagation over a permeable submerged breakwater reported in the literature. Good agreements were obtained for the free surface elevations at various spatial and temporal scales, velocity fields around and inside the obstacle, as well as the velocity profiles.

The flow between two large parallel plates approaching each other symmetrically in a porous medium is studied. The Navier-Stokes equations have been transformed into an ordinary nonlinear differential equation using a transformationψ(r,z)=r2F(z). Solution to the problem is obtained by using differential transform method (DTM) by varying different Newtonian fluid parameters and permeability of the porous medium. Result for the stream function is presented. Validity of the solutions is confirmed by evaluating the residual in each case, and the proposed scheme gives excellent and reliable results. The influence of different parameters on the flow has been discussed and presented through graphs.

AbstractA study of instabilities in planar flows produced by the presence of a parallel penetrable porous obstruction is presented. The case considered is a flow between parallel plates partially obstructed by a porous medium. The most unstable perturbation modes are obtained solving numerically the eigenvalue problem derived from the linear stability analysis of the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations applied to the geometry of interest. The analysis leads to an extended Orr–Sommerfeld equation including a porous term. It was found that the ratios of the permeability and depth of the obstruction with respect to the free flow layer depth are the relevant parameters influencing the stability margin and the structure of the most unstable modes. To validate the conclusions of the theoretical analysis, an experiment with air flowing through a channel semi-obstructed by a regular array of cylindrical wires was performed. The critical Reynolds number, which was determined by measuring the amplitude of velocity fluctuations at the interface of the porous medium, agrees with the theoretical predictions. The dominant instability mode was characterized by the cross-section profile of the root mean square of the velocity perturbations, which matches reasonable well with the eigenfunction of the most unstable eigenvalue. Also, the wavenumber was determined by correlating the velocity measurements in two sequential locations along the channel, which compares well with the theoretical value.
