The numerical models of porous media are applicable for many environmental related and technical problems. Often makes the structure of the porous media the conceptual modeling difficult. Heterogeneous distribution of properties, such as permeability and porosity, causes difficulties. In particular, if a big hollow structure crosses a porous medium, porous media flow and free flow are coupled. In this case flow equations in porous media are not capable of representing the total system. Such systems are mines (shaft, pipe network), CO2 sequestration in geological formations (abandoned wells), flow of liquids and gases in fractured porous media and also oxygen and water currents in fuel cells (at the boundary of diffusion layer and gas flow field). The model calculates the flow in porous media in 2D (or 3D) and the flow in hollow structures in 1D. In porous media the velocities are calculated by using Darcy`s Law whereas in free-flow region Reynold's number is much higher than 1, i.e., Darcy's Law is not applicable. In free flow region one dimensional Navier Stokes equations are used. Cross sectional averaging of velocities and Darcy-Weisbach equation for the friction component are utilized. Although the equations in each domain are implicitly solved, the coupling is explicit. The coupling is done with the help of semi discrete semi dual-continuum concept (i.e, the domains are lying on top of each other, but the exchange term is calculated discretely). At the end of the talk, we will present few numerical studies that describe the behavior of the new approach

Effect of turbulence modeling for the prediction of flow and heat transfer in rotorcraft avionics bay Akin, Altug; Kahveci, Harika Senem (Elsevier BV, 2019-12-01) In this paper, four turbulence models are compared on the basis of the predictions they produce for the flow and heat transfer in the avionics bay area of a rotorcraft. The turbulence models studied are the standard k-s, Renormalization Group (RNG) k-epsilon, realizable k-epsilon, and Shear-Stress Transport (SST) k-omega model. The avionics bay used in the study houses avionics equipment mounted on the floor and on a rack inside the bay to mimic a realistic distribution of equipment in actual rotorcraft. Th...
Consolidation of elastic porous media saturated by two immiscible fluids Tuncay, Kağan (1996-11-01) A theory is presented to simulate the consolidation of elastic porous media saturated by two immiscible Newtonian fluids. The macroscopic equations, including mass and momentum balance equations and constitutive relations, are obtained by volume averaging the microscale equations. The theory is based on the small deformation assumption. In the microscale, the grains are assumed to be linearly elastic and the fluids are Newtonian. The bulk and shear moduli of the solid matrix are introduced to obtain the mac...
Identification and filtering of uncharacteristic noise in the CMS hadron calorimeter Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (IOP Publishing, 2010-03-01) Commissioning studies of the CMS hadron calorimeter have identified sporadic uncharacteristic noise and a small number of malfunctioning calorimeter channels. Algorithms have been developed to identify and address these problems in the data. The methods have been tested on cosmic ray muon data, calorimeter noise data, and single beam data collected with CMS in 2008. The noise rejection algorithms can be applied to LHC collision data at the trigger level or in the offline analysis. The application of the alg...
Lattice boltzmann automaton model to simulate fluid flow in synthetic fractures Eker, Erdinç; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2005) Modeling of flow in porous and fractured media is a very important problem in reservoir engineering. As for numerical simulations conventional Navier-Stokes codes are applied to flow in both porous and fractured media. But they have long computation times, poor convergence and problems of numerical instabilities. Therefore, it is desired to develop another computational method that is more efficient and use simple rules to represent the flow in fractured media rather than partial differential equations. In ...
Coupling of porous media flow with pipe flow Doğan, Mehmet Onur (Eigenverlag des Instituts für Wasserbau, 2011-01-01) Many flow problems in environmental, technical and biological systems are characterizedby a distinct interaction between a flow region in porous medium and a free flow region inquasi-one-dimensional hollow structures. Examples for such systems are: Mines: Methane released from unmined coal seams migrates through the porousrocks, but also through tunnels and shafts in the mine. Landslides: A sudden water infiltration through macro-pores may trigger landslides. Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells: The ...
