The simulation of the gas flow through the porous media and fences

Abstract

The paper is focused on the numerical simulation of the compressible gas flow through the porous media and fences. We work with the the non-stationary viscous compressible fluid flow, described by the RANS equations. The flow through the porous media is characterized by the loss of momentum. It is possible to use various methods for the simulation of such flow. Here we present the approach with the modification of the source term, and other possibilities using the modification of the face flux. The original approach was presented recently by the authors analysing the modification of the Riemann problem with one-side initial condition, complemented with the Darcy’s law and added inertial loss. Another aim of this paper is the evaluation and estimate of the forces acting on the diffusible barrier (fence) with given parameters. The presented examples were obtained with the own-developed code for the solution of the compressible gas flow.
