Simulations of Flow of Fluid Through Porous Media

Mehul Kamra

Abstract


‘Fluid flowing through porous media’ have application in practically almost every. Owing to its huge applicability, this paper intends to simulate this flow by constructing a self-explanatory model which at the end is validated by Darcy’s law. The theory preceding the model and this law is explained in detail. The results compliance with this law proves the credibility of this model for the industrial application.



Keywords


Darcy’s Law, Percolation, Nodes, Pores, Resistance
