Abstract: Transport of contaminant through a single fracture, modeled as a closely spaced parallel plates aperture, is analyzed theoretically and numerically. Permeable contact regions between the plates ...

Abstract: The determination of permeability K and form coefficient C, defined by the Hazen-Dupuit-Darcy (HDD) equation of flow through a porous medium, requires the measurement of the total pressure drop ...

Abstract: Many important technological and natural processes involving flow through porous media are characterized by large filtration velocity. It is important to know when the transition from the linear ...

Abstract: Previous reports of experiments performed with water (Fund et at., 1987 and Kececioglu and Jiang, 1994) indicated that beyond the Forchheimer regime the rate of change of the hydrostatic pressure ...

Abstract: A heat exchanger, using mechanically compressed microporous matrices, is being developed for cooling high power electronics. The thermal efficiency of this new device depends on the hydraulic ...
