Fluid Flow
in Porous Packed Bed-Media:
Vol-1 Introduction to Fluid Dynamics of Packed Bed-Media, proffers the
mathematical description of Single- and Multi- Phase Flow through
Porous Packed Bed-Media, expertly integrating the state of the art
developments into descriptions that are entirely unique in
formulations. In significant departure from the conventional
approach, the Porous Media Flow Equations as developed eschew the
use of Darcy Law, as the basis, and use the full Navier-Stokes
equations with added function-descriptions of the momentum exchanges
between the phases. Effectively, this
book advances the underlying science in closely examining the
prevailing fluid dynamics in porous packed bed-media; rationally
constructs, the momentum exchanges in multi-component immiscible
liquids based on the relative permeability dependence on Saturation;
and accordingly extends the formulation of relative permeability of
two-phases into multi-component fluids. As consequence, the Flow
equations as developed can be used to describe even entrained flow of any of
the fluid phases that must flow through the media with zero forced
convection, and also describe the flow dynamics as a limit condition
when the phase Saturation metric defines Capillary Flows. Most
significantly, the
reformulation has
elicited flow through porous packed bed as
intrinsically characterized by unique inhomogeneous Nonlinear Phase
Saturation Hyperbolic Waves.
Vast
industrial operations have adopted Packed Bed-Media for very long in
accomplishing varied objectives, obviously, these applications
have motivated continued research on
packed bed analysis, though often without the explicit use of the
Single and Multi- phase flow dynamics through the porous media that
obtains with the use of Packed Bed.
Analytical solution developed for Axial Tubular Flows for biological
and chemical reactors and Ion Exchange Separators, and Radial
Spherical Flows for use in Oil and Gas Extractions and aquifer Flow
are developed for
Single Phase and Multiphase Miscible Fluids, and Single Phase
Multi-Fluid and Multiphase Multi-Fluid flows
of both Non-Inertial and inertial flows.
The solution methods extensively
uses Green's Function and Green Functions Matrices for constructing
the function forms.
