A Review of Studies on Fluid Flow Passing through an Ideal Aggregate Part I: Models with an Uniformly Permeable Porous Layer
Author:
Abstract: This is a review of studies on fluid flow passing through an isolated ideal aggregate with a porous layer with the uniformly permeability. Fluid flows are governed by the Brinkman’s extension of Darcy’s law and continuity equation. These equations with appropriate boundary conditions are analytically solved by introducing stream functions, respectively. The comparisons between Kim & Yuan’s cell model with a porous layer with the uniformly permeability and other previous works are investigated.
