The impetus of the current research is to use the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) algorithm to investigate fluid behaviour and gas transport in porous microchannels. Here, we demonstrate DSMC’s capability to simulate porous media up to 40...

Investigation of flow field and heat transfer from a rotating sphere is very important in fluid mechanics, astrophysics and astronautics. Besides, nowadays because of heat transfer characteristics of the porous medium and ...

By increasing the velocity of flow in coarse grain materials, local turbulences are often imposed to the flow. As a result, the flow regime through rockfill structures deviates from linear Darcy law; and nonlinear or ...

Variability of hydraulic parameters in coarse porous media...

Understanding the transport behaviour of new and emerging materials such as engineered nanoparticles -ENPs- is vital for the accurate assessment of their functionality and fate in environmental systems. Predicting ENP ...

A few theoretical studies dealing with hydrate–liquid two-phase

equilibrium and three-phase equilibrium in porous media is

available in the literature. In this paper, an alternate tool, i.e. the

artificial neural network (ANN...
