Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 20Effect of Pore To Throat Size Ratio on Thermal Dispersion in Porous Media(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Özgümüş, Türküler; Mobedi, MoghtadaIn this study, the effects of pore to throat size ratio on thermal dispersion of periodic porous media consisting of inline array of rectangular rods are investigated, numerically. The continuity, momentum and energy equations are solved for representative elementary volumes (REVs) of the porous media to obtain microscopic velocities in the voids between the rods and temperature distribution for entire of the REVs. Volume averaging method is employed to compute the macroscopic velocity and temperature values. There are velocity and temperature deviations between the macroscopic and microscopic values. These deviations are computed numerically and thermal dispersion coefficients of the porous media are determined. The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of pore to throat size ratio on the longitudinal and transverse thermal dispersion in the porous media. The study is performed for pore to throat size ratios between 1.63 and 7.46, porosities from 0.7 to 0.9, and pore level Reynolds numbers between 1 and 100. It is found that in addition to the porosity and Reynolds number, the parameter of pore to throat size ratio plays an important role on thermal dispersion in a porous medium. It is found that there is an optimum value of pore to throat size ratio for maximum longitudinal thermal dispersion coefficient; however, the transverse thermal dispersion increases with the increasing of values of pore to throat size ratio.Article Citation - Scopus: 42Propagation of Waves in Porous Media(Elsevier Ltd., 1996) Çorapçıoplu, M. Yavuz; Tuncay, KağanWave propagation in porous media is of interest in various diversified areas of science and engineering. The theory of the phenomenon has been studied extensively in soil mechanics, seismology, acoustics, earthquake engineering, ocean engineering, geophysics, and many other disciplines. This review presents a general survey of the literature within the context of porous media mechanics. Following a review of the Biot's theory of wave propagation in linear, elastic, fluid saturated porous media which has been the basis of many analyses, we present various analytical and numerical solutions obtained by several researchers. Biot found that there are two dilatational waves and one rotational wave in a saturated porous medium. It has been noted that the second kind of dilatational wave is highly attenuated and is associated with a diffusion type process. The influence of coupling between two phases has a decreasing effect on the first kind wave and an increasing effect on the second wave. Procedures to predict the liquefaction of soils due to earthquakes have been reviewed in detail. Extension of Biot's theory to unsaturated soils has been discussed, and it was noted that, in general, equations developed for saturated media were employed for unsaturated media by replacing the density and compressibility terms with modified values for a water-air mixture. Various approaches to determine the permeability of porous media from attenuation of dilatational waves have been described in detail. Since the prediction of acoustic wave speeds and attenuations in marine sediments has been extensively studied in geophysics, these studies have been reviewed along with the studies on dissipation of water waves at ocean bottoms. The mixture theory which has been employed by various researchers in continuum mechanics is also discussed within the context of this review. Then, we present an alternative approach to obtain governing equations of wave propagation in porous media from macroscopic balance equations. Finally, we present an analysis of wave propagation in fractured porous media saturated by two immiscible fluids.
