Simulation and Characterization of Multi‐Phase Flow and Particle Transport in Porous Media

Abstract

The study of multi‐phase flow through porous structures is of considerable importance in many fields of science and technology. Examples include fields such as biotechnology, environmental sciences, engineering, etc. The study of these flow structures will help to understand more about filters, oil recovery, and even lab‐on‐chip applications. This paper analyzes numerically low and medium Reynolds number flows in a porous structure with a stagnant zone. Simulations were carried out with a single‐liquid phase and two‐liquid phases flow. We analyze also solid particle transport and deposition within the porous structure influenced by particle dimension.
