 Simulation of incompressible flows in channels containing fluid and porous regionsPavel Viktorovich Bulat and Konstantin Nikolaevich Volkov International Journal of Industrial and Systems Engineering, 2020, vol. 34, issue 3, 283-300 Abstract: Flows and heat transfer in channels containing both fluid and porous regions play an important role in various engineering applications. A better understanding of fundamental mechanisms in the fluid flows in porous regions are required in order to design and optimise gas bearings, air filters, and thermal insulation in the specific applications. Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model is used to describe the flow inside the porous domain. The finite volume method is applied to solve these equations in a porous and open domain. The capabilities of the mathematical model and computational algorithm are demonstrated using test cases from various areas of practical applications. The effect of various physical quantities on velocity and pressure distributions is studied. The results of the numerical simulation of flows in porous domains are presented. The results obtained are in a good agreement with the experimental and numerical data available in the literature. Keywords: porous medium; computational fluid dynamics; channel flow; fluid injection; gas bearing.
