Abstract:

Through the pore-scale of the mesh porous media channel numerical analysis, the flow resistance characteristics of wire mesh channel with different geometric parameters were studied, including pressure drop ΔP, viscous resistance Au and inertial resistance Bu2. A three-dimensional steady-state modified k-ωturbulence model was developed by CFD software, and five four-cell pore models with different wire diameters and pore diameters were selected. Numerical analysis on flow resistance characteristics in wire mesh velocity numbers, i.e., from 0.2 m/s to 1.0 m/s were performed. The characteristics of flow in pore-level channels with different configurations under the range of low velocity numbers were obtained. It was shown that the configuration had a significant influence on the nonlinear flow characteristics of the wire mesh channel. The results showed that the smaller the mesh configuration angle (θ=45°~90°), the greater flow resistance in the channel, however, the partial pressure ratio was the same. It also indicated that faster the flow velocity (v=0.2~1.0 m/s), the greater the nonlinear effect and more inertial resistance would be.
