Experimental and numerical simulation research on fluid pressure drop inside sintered metal porous plates

Abstract

Abstract At present, research on fluid flow characteristics in porous media is mostly conducted through experimental and simulation methods, and some damping prediction models for fluid flow in porous media have been proposed. These prediction models may not be entirely suitable for all porous media, as porous media have various factors such as complex pore channels, resulting in vastly different calculation results for different prediction models on the same porous media. Based on experiments, this article adopts the standard k in numerical simulation research k -ε. The turbulence model is used to simulate the flow of liquid in porous plates, and the comparison between numerical simulation results and experimental results proves the standard k-ε. The turbulence model can be well applied in the numerical simulation of porous plates prepared in this paper, providing feasible references for the numerical simulation of the fluid performance of porous plates.
