A Model for Slow Flow of Water through Porous Channel
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
A model for slow flow of water through porous channel using Darcy’s equation and smoothed continuity equation was carried out. Solution and analysis of the governing equations showed that at Reynolds number regime for laminar flow, increase in Reynolds number leads to a decrease in the pressure profile of water. Similar results were also observed as a result of increase in viscosity and porosity but an increase in pressure is observed as a result of increase in permeability of water.
