Phase Change Flows

Shock-like features of phase-change flows in porous media are explained, based on the generalized Darcy model. The flow field consists of two-phase zones of parabolic/hyperbolic type as well as adjacent or imbedded single-phase zones of either parabolic (superheated, compressible vapour) or elliptic (subcooled, incompressible liquid) type. Within the two-phase zones or at the two-phase/single-phase interfaces, there may be steep gradients in saturation and temperature approaching shock-like behaviour when the dissipative effects of capillarity and heat-conduction are negligible. Illustrative of these shocked, multizone flow-structures are the transient condensing flows in porous media, for which a self-similar, shock-preserving (Rankine–Hugoniot) analysis is presented.
