Abstract: (8284 Views)
In this research work, using the recently introduced entropic constant speed kinetic model and employing the Pseudo-Potential model of Shan and Chen (SC), two phase flow of incompressible and immiscible fluids through porous media is studied. Applications of the entropic kinetic models in simulating multi-phase and multi-component flows have been thoroughly investigated, during the past decade. Lack of an entropy function, in a kinetics based model, implies that the existence of a unique equilibrium state, under all flow conditions and for all positions and times, cannot be guaranteed by the model. Hence, simulation of two multi-phase flows with high density ratios, using the conventional kinetic models (which do not satisfy the second law of thermodynamics) may not yield proper results, due to numerical instabilities. In this research, performing numerical simulations, the accuracy and stability of the recently introduced constant speed kinetic model and the conventional lattice Boltzmann models have been compared with each other. The present simulations include the verification of the Laplace Law and the contact angles and two phase flow through simple channels. In addition to the above, two phase flow in porous media has been simulated and the relative permeability vs wettability has been reported. The obtained results are in excellent agreement with previous results reported by others researchers.
