Computational modelling of fluid–porous solid interaction systems

Deformation of a porous medium due to the pressure applied by an interacting fluid passing through it is a phenomenon which occurs in a number of applications such as filtration and membrane separation processes. Mathematical modelling of these systems using porous medium theory has proved to be beneficial in the design of experiments and equipments as well as gaining better insight about multi-physics phenomenon such as combined fluid flow and solid deformation regimes. In the present work the interaction of fluid and porous solid medium has been studied. [Continues.]
