The mathematical modeling of aerostatic porous bearings, represented by the Reynolds equation, depends on the assumptions for the flow in the porous medium. One proposes a modified Reynolds equation based on the quadratic Forchheimer assumption, which can be used for both linear and quadratic conditions. Numerical results are compared to those obtained with the linear Darcy model. It is shown that, the non-dimensional parameter Φ, related to non-linear effects, strongly affects the bearing dynamic characteristics, but for values of Φ > 10, the results tend to those obtained with the linear model.

AbstractIn this study, mathematical modeling of permeation grouting through fully saturated soil is proposed based on immiscible multiphase flow theory. Grout flow in the medium is modeled together with the existing water as the simultaneous flow of two immiscible fluids. In the model, the porous medium is assumed as isotropic and rigid, fluids are assumed as incompressible and capillary pressure is assumed as negligible. Governing equations are discretized using upstream weighted finite element technique and results show that, proposed models give good results and may be used in the numerical simulation of grouting through fully saturated soils.

This work focuses on the development of mathematical models describing moisture movement in wood, when the wood is considered as porous medium. Main moisture transport mechanisms are discussed. It is shown how the wood can be described as a two‐ or three‐phase system. Summaries of several multiphase flow models are presented in the hierarchical order: from the most general models to more simple examples. The approximation steps are described explicitly, and all assumptions are given in detail. It shown how models for specific applications in wood drying or saturation can be obtained.
