Abstract

Three-dimensional flow of a Newtonian fluid through porous media consisting of multisized perfectly spherical beads is numerically simulated. Porous media are virtually and randomly generated, in accordance with the particle size distribution. All the physical features of the porous media are fully represented and considered, in order to closely mimic the heterogeneity of these media. Simulations show that the smallest particles strongly affect the streamline shape by imposing small pores and small throats, and also by providing the shortest paths. The third dimension has a particular effect, which is to allow the streamlines to follow the path of least resistance, where the least amount of energy is required to produce the motion of a fluid particle. Once the three-dimensional images have been produced, the proposed model provides a three-dimensional representation of the streamlines and their velocity. Unfortunately, the results currently generated do not agree well with those proposed in the literature. Consequently, there is a pressing need to verify these results by conducting more numerical tests.
