Abstract
Migration of particles in porous media is confined by the structure of the porous media, which results in the clogging of particles in porous media and the alteration of the topology of porous media. Particle clogging is primarily determined by the size of particles and topology of porous media. The recent micro-scale research on the migration of mono-size particles in the saturated porous media showed that the particle clogging occurred when the Stokes number of particles in the porous medium was larger than 1, and the local volume fraction and diameter of particles were higher. In this study, the fluid dynamics of poly-dispersed particles were studied on migration and clogging of particles in a porous medium. The effect of the larger particles in poly-dispersed particles was investigated and discovered to be the primary element determining the fluid dynamics and clogging of poly-disperse particles in porous media. The particle clusters with larger particles surrounded by smaller particles and velocity difference between each size of particles in poly-disperse distribution can increase the local volume fraction of particles and result in the particle clogging.
期刊介绍:
GENERAL OBJECTIVES: Computational Particle Mechanics (CPM) is a quarterly journal with the goal of publishing full-length original articles addressing the modeling and simulation of systems involving particles and particle methods. The goal is to enhance communication among researchers in the applied sciences who use "particles'''' in one form or another in their research.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: Particle-based materials and numerical methods have become wide-spread in the natural and applied sciences, engineering, biology. The term "particle methods/mechanics'''' has now come to imply several different things to researchers in the 21st century, including:
(a) Particles as a physical unit in granular media, particulate flows, plasmas, swarms, etc.,
(b) Particles representing material phases in continua at the meso-, micro-and nano-scale and
(c) Particles as a discretization unit in continua and discontinua in numerical methods such as
Discrete Element Methods (DEM), Particle Finite Element Methods (PFEM), Molecular Dynamics (MD), and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), to name a few.
