Simulation of Pore-Scale Fluid Flow through Glass Beads Using Lattice Boltzmann Method
Publication: GeoFlorida 2010: Advances in Analysis, Modeling & Design
Abstract
Lattice Boltzmann (LB) method is a computational fluid dynamics method efficient in simulating fluid flow through complex geometries such as those of porous materials. A three dimensional LB model is developed for simulating fluid flow through loosely packed glass beads in this paper. Assemblage of the glass beads is modeled using PFC3D and the assemblage is converted into a binary image file to be used as an input for LB simulation. The numerically predicted relationship between the hydraulic gradient and discharge velocity is compared with constant head test results and excellent agreement is observed.
