Pore-Scale Flow Simulations: Model Predictions Compared with Experiments on Bi-Dispersed Granular Assemblies Simulation d’écoulements à l’échelle porale : comparaison des prédictions du modèle et d’expériences sur mélanges de billes de verre bi-disperses
A method is presented for the simulation of pore flow in granular materials. The numerical model uses a combination of the discrete element method for the solid phase and a novel finite volume formulation for the fluid phase. The solid is modeled as an assembly of spherical particles, where conta...
