Mass Transfer Simulation In An Inclined Two-Layer Porous Channel By The Lattice Boltzmann Method
摘要
The study numerically investigates the mass transfer in an inclined two-layer porous channel in the gravitational field. The lower region of the channel is occupied by a porous medium, while the upper region consists of a pure fluid. The initial concentration distribution is such that the impurity is localized in the central part of the porous domain. The upper and lower walls of the channel are solid and no-flux boundary condition for the concentration is applied. Periodic boundary conditions are applied for the velocity field on the side walls, and the flow is driven by the longitudinal component of the velocity induced by the gravitational field and channel inclination. For the concentration field two boundary condition types are examined on the side walls: periodic boundary conditions, and a non-periodic characterized by a vanishing concentration at the left wall and a constant flux condition at the right wall. The problem is solved for constant porosity and permeability coefficients, with the Schmidt number fixed at
