Book Unsaturated Deformable Porous Media Flow with Phase Transition

Download or read book Unsaturated Deformable Porous Media Flow with Phase Transition written by Pavel Krejčí and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present paper, a continuum model is introduced for fluid flow in a deformable porous medium, where the fluid may undergo phase transitions. Typically, such problems arise in modeling liquid-solid phase transformations in groundwater flows. The system of equations is derived here from the conservation principles for mass, momentum, and energy and from the Clausius-Duhem inequality for entropy. It couples the evolution of the displacement in the matrix material, of the capillary pressure, of the absolute temperature, and of the phase fraction. Mathematical results are proved under the additional hypothesis that inertia effects and shear stresses can be neglected. For the resulting highly nonlinear system of two PDEs, one ODE and one ordinary differential inclusion with natural initial and boundary conditions, existence of global in time solutions is proved by means of cut-off techniques and suitable Moser-type estimates.

Book Infiltration and Solid liquid Phase Change in Porous Media

Download or read book Infiltration and Solid liquid Phase Change in Porous Media written by Piyasak Damronglerd and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many natural phenomenon and engineering systems involves phase change and infiltration in porous media. Some examples are the freezing of soil, frozen food, water barrier in construction and mining processes, chill casting, slab casting, liquid metal injection, latent-heat thermalenergy storage, laser annealing, selective laser sintering (SLS) and laser drilling, etc. These various applications are the motivation to develop a fast and reliable numerical model that can handle solid-liquid phase change and infiltration in porous media. The model is based on the Temperature Transforming Model (TTM) which use one set of governing equations for the whole computational domain, and then solid-liquid interface is located from the temperature distribution later. The first step was to create a model for solving Navier-Stokes and energy equation. The model was tested by solving a flow inside an enclosure problem. The next step was to implement TTM into the model to make it also capable of solving melting problem and then the program is tested with several phase change materials (PCM). The third step is to simplifying the complicated governing equations of melting and solidification in porous media problems into a simple set of equation similar to the Navier-Stokes equation, so that the program from previous step can be used. The final model was successfully validated by comparing with existing experimental and numerical results. Several controlling parameters of the phase change in porous media were studied. Finally, a one-dimensional infiltration process that involves both melting and resolidification of a selective laser sintering process was carefully investigated.

Book Modeling and simulation of complete liquid vapor phase change process inside porous media

Download or read book Modeling and simulation of complete liquid vapor phase change process inside porous media written by Omar Rafae Mahmood Al Omar and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work deals with modeling and numerical simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer associated with phase change process inside both isotropic and anisotropic porous media, based on the Two-Phase Mixture Model (TPMM) along with the assumption of Local Thermal Equilibrium (LTE) and Non-Equilibrium (LTNE) conditions. In particular, it demonstrates the necessity and usefulness of a newly proposed smoothing algorithm for handling the sharp discontinuities in the effective diffusion coefficient in order to avoid the occurrence of non-physical “jump” in the predicted temperature distribution during the numerical simulation of the complete phase change process inside porous media. For the purpose of demonstration, one- and two-dimensional phase change problems operated in the Darcy flow regime have been considered.The Finite Volume Method (FVM) has been used on both staggered and non-staggered grid layouts in order to solve the governing conservation equations. In this work, after critically analyzing the drawbacks of the existing enthalpy formulation based on TPMM, a modified formulation has been also developed that can easily accommodate substantial density variations in the single phase regions. The results obtained from the modified enthalpy formulation have been compared with that predicted by the existing modified volumetric enthalpy formulation and excellent agreements have been observed for all tested cases. A thorough parametric study, using both LTE and LTNE models, indicates that the adoption of the proposed smoothing algorithm successfully eliminates “jump” in the predicted temperature distribution and does not alter the overall energy and momentum balance. All tested cases, covering applicable ranges of parametric variations, could be physically interpreted. The methodology is, therefore, recommended for future simulations of complete phase change process inside porous media. The results also show that the modified enthalpy formulation requires significantly less computation time thanmodified volumetric enthalpy formulation.

Download or read book Disorder and Mixing written by E. Guyon and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CARGESE INSTITUfE ON DISORDER AND MIXING Convection, diffusion and reaction are the three basic mechanisms in physico-chemical hydrodynamics and chemical engineering. Both convective and diffusive processes are strongly influenced by the effect of disorder of granular matter in porous media, suspensions, fluidized beds or/and by the randomness caused in turbulent flow field. This book has been initiated by a NATO summer institute held in Cargese (Corsica, FRANCE) from June 15 th to 27 th 1987 . Its aim was to associate statistical physicists, fluid mechanicians and specialists of chemical engineering on the problems of the relation between disorder and mixing and, in this respect, this is a " premiere ". This book is made of chapters based on lectures given in the meeting. However we have paid a considerable attention to harmonize the contents and styles of chapters made by scientists trained in different communities and using different languages and techniques to describe similar problems. The Prelude by the editors of the book introduces the different points and is a biased view of some of the important and most active aspects of the subjects developed. We wish to thank all contributors and students of the institute who gave the style of the present interdisciplinary approach. We also greatly thank Elisabeth Charlaix who has shared with us the scientific and practical organisation of the institute, and Marie-France Hanseler for her technical support.
