Description
In our poster we will present the complete toolchain for simulating the inertial fluid flow phenomena in pore-scale flows in two and three dimensions based on OpenFOAM (a popular, open–source finite volume code used in computational fluid dynamics).
Our work comprises of specialized python and bash scripts for automating the process of running simulations and post-processing the results. We use the model of high-porosity media that consists of rectangular, random obstacles and examine it in a wide range of Reynolds numbers.
We start by verifying the applicability of the Darcy-Forchheimer laws. Our results confirm applicability of OpenFOAM in simulating high Reynolds flows. Moreover, the energy localization and enhanced channeling effect was also observed. Our study shows that OpenFOAM is a useful tool that allows for relatively easy automation, post-processing, and parallelization of all simulation processes.
