Slow Flow of Viscoelastic Fluids Through Fibrous Porous Media

Slow Flow of Viscoelastic Fluids Through Fibrous Porous Media

Show other versions (1)

This thesis reports on an experimental study of slow viscoelastic flow through models of fibrous porous media. The models were square arrays of parallel cylinders, with solid volume fractions or ‘solidities’ of 2.5%, 5.0%, and 10%. An initial study using a Newtonian fluid provided a baseline for com...
