Description
The standard approach to modelling fluid flow through a porous medium was developed decades ago, when computational resources were insufficient to feasibly simulate the flow directly. In this thesis, the feasibility of such flow simulation with modern computing power is demonstrated via the development of three accurate and efficient dual-scale models of porous media flow. An important outcome of the research is that the new dual-scale modelling framework accurately and efficiently simulates flows with a range of Reynolds numbers through a variety of heterogeneous porous media.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
