Abstract
© 2018 by ASME. To provide porous media substrates that are quick to generate and characterize for lattice Boltzmann analysis, we propose a straightforward algorithm. The method leverages the benefits of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), and is extensible to multiphysics flows. Several parameters allow for simple customization. The generation algorithm and LBM are reviewed, and suggested implementation covered. Additionally, results are discussed and interpreted to evaluate the approach. Several verification tools are employed such as Darcy's law, the Ergun equation, the Koponen correlation, a newly proposed correlation, and experimental data. Agreement and repeatability are found to be excellent, suggesting this relatively simple method is a good option for engineering studies.
