  • Thermodynamic correction for salts in variably saturated porous media

    Creator:
    Burns, Erick R.
    Abstract:
    Using thermodynamic principles, the general relationship describing the equilibrium vapor content in the gas phase above a saline liquid and across a curved liquid-gas interface is developed. Since high salt concentration also affects the intensive and extensive liquid properties, it is also necessary to account for these effects in liquid...

  • A numerical study of inertial flow features in moderate Reynolds number flow through packed beds of spheres

    Creator:
    Finn, Justin Richard
    Abstract:
    In this work, flow through synthetic arrangements of contacting spheres is studied as a model problem for porous media and packed bed type flows. Direct numerical simulations are performed for moderate pore Reynolds numbers in the range, 10 ≤ Re ≤ 600, where non-linear porescale flow features are known to...
