Wicking in Porous Materials: Traditional and Modern Modeling Approaches

Editat de Reza Masoodi, Krishna M. Pillai
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 oct 2012
A comprehensive presentation of wicking models developed in academia and industry, Wicking in Porous Materials: Traditional and Modern Modeling Approaches contains some of the most important approaches and methods available, from the traditional Washburn-type models to the latest Lattice-Boltzmann approaches developed during the last few years. It provides a sound conceptual framework for learning the science behind different mathematical models while at the same time being aware of the practical issues of model validation as well as measurement of important properties and parameters associated with various models.
Top experts in the field reveal the secrets of their wicking models. The chapters cover the following topics:
  • Wetting and wettability
  • Darcy’s law for single- and multi-phase flows
  • Traditional capillary models, such as the Washburn-equation based approaches
  • Unsaturated-flow based methodologies (Richard’s Equation)
  • Sharp-front (plug-flow) type approaches using Darcy’s law
  • Pore network models for wicking after including various micro-scale fluid-flow phenomena
  • Studying the effect of evaporation on wicking using pore network models
  • Fractal-based methods
  • Modeling methods based on mixture theory
  • Lattice-Boltzmann method for modeling wicking in small scales
  • Modeling wicking in swelling and non-rigid porous media
This extensive look at the modeling of porous media compares various methods and treats traditional topics as well as modern technologies. It emphasizes experimental validation of modeling approaches as well as experimental determination of model parameters. Matching models to particular media, the book provides guidance on what models to use and how to use them.

Descriere

This reference offers information on the current science and recent advances of wicking in porous materials. The book describes various modeling approaches, traditional and modern, but maintains an emphasis on the modern methodologies. A host of internationally recognized scientists and researchers contribute chapters to this book to describe the physics of wicking and the different approaches available for modeling wicking. Chapters cover capillary models (such as the Lucas-Washburn equation), sharp-front single phase-flow models, two-phase flow models (such as the Richard equation), network models, a Lattice-Boltzmann model, a mixture-theory based model, and a fractal-based modeling approach. The authors emphasize experimental validation of theoretical and numerical predictions along with experimental measurement of the necessary parameters.
