Frequently Asked Questions (18)
Q2. What contributions have the authors mentioned in the paper "Macroscopic model for unsteady flow in porous media" ?
Lasseux et al. this paper proposed a macroscopic model for unsteady flow in porous media.
Q3. Why was the permeability dependence not represented in the universal curve?
In order to emphasize porosity and frequency effects, the permeability dependence upon frequency was not represented in the universal curve suggested above.
Q4. How was the value of tm chosen?
The value of t∗m was chosen to be smaller than the dimensionless time at which the initial flow was observed to be insensitive in the previous case and was fixed to 8 × 10−4.
Q5. What is the popular approach in coastal engineering?
The approach making use of the heuristic model has been also very popular in wave dampening models in coastal engineering (Hall et al. 1995; Corvaro et al. 2010).
Q6. What is the resulting expression of the Darcy-law type model?
In the work by Lévy, the resulting expression is also a Darcy-law type model in the frequency domain, while the work by Auriault is an extension to include inertial effects and multiphase flow.
Q7. What is the simplest way to solve the initial and boundary-value problem?
With the momentum balance in the form of equation (3.9), the initial and boundary-value problem is a linear one for which a formal solution can be obtained using an integral equation formulation in terms of Green’s functions as shown by Wood & Valdés-Parada (2013).
Q8. What is the heuristic model for predicting the dynamic apparent permeability?
In practice, this corresponds to a pressure gradient given as a finite pulse in the porous medium, which could be of interest, from an experimental point of view, for potential measurements of the dynamic apparent permeability.
Q9. What is the heuristic model for t 0.015?
In the permanent, but time-dependent regime for ⟨v∗x⟩β (i.e., for t∗ > 0.015), the heuristic model is not likely to succeed even at late times, since the model is never reduced to a Darcy-like form.
Q10. What is the permeability tensor for steady, creeping flow?
For steady, creeping flow, the well-known linear dependence of the velocity on the macroscopic forcing is recovered in the form of Darcy’s law.
Q11. What was the information used to predict the field of the closure variables?
The information from the solution of these two problems was then used to predict the fields of the closure variables D and m0, for the prescribed value of Re, from which the effective-medium coefficients, Ht and α, were computed.
Q12. What is the relationship between the superficial and intrinsic averaging operators?
The superficial and intrinsic averaging operators are related by the Dupuit-Forchheimer relationship⟨ψ⟩|x,t = ε(x) ⟨ψ⟩ β ∣∣ x,t (3.2)with ε(x) ≡ Vβ(x)/V denoting the porosity which is a constant due to the rigid and homogeneous character of the medium.
Q13. What is the purpose of the periodicity problem in equations (2.1)?
With this purpose in mind, the pore-scale problem in equations (2.1) is re-written in a periodic unit cell in terms of the dependent variables v and p.
Q14. What was the first work to analyze effects of unsteady flow in porous media?
This was initiated by the pioneer works from Biot (1956a,b) to analyze effects such as wave speed, attenuation, viscous dissipation and anisotropy.
Q15. What is the averaging operator used in equation 3.1a?
The averaging operator defined in equation (3.1a) is usually denoted as the superficial averaging operator (Whitaker 1999), a nomenclature that is employed throughout the article.
Q16. What was the acceleration term used to derive the closed average model?
In fact, in this reference, the acceleration term was kept in a large part of the development although it was clearly stated, at the final stage, that the steady ancillary closure problem used to derive the closed average model was only compatible with a steady version of this model (see section 2.8 in this reference).
Q17. What motivated the work developed in this article?
This motivated the work developed in this article that is dedicated to a formal derivation and analysis of an upscaled model that includes these features for single-phase unsteady flow in rigid and homogeneous periodic porous media.
Q18. What is the difference between the master curves for the effective coefficients and the pore-?
The master curves for the effective coefficients are distinct for different porosities, and for the simple geometry considered here, it appears that the steady state is reached faster as the solid phase occupies a larger fraction of the unit cell, which was also the case for Htxx.
