OpenFOAM - Pore-scale modeling


    In our research, we deal a lot with porous media, such as river bed, river banks, seabed, ripraps, and scour protection. As such, flow through the porous media is of fundamental interest. Built upon the immersed boundary method we developed in OpenFOAM, we are able to simulate the flow field at pore scale.

    The porous media part of results shown on this page is Rusen Sinir's master thesis work. We are also doing research on the flow simulations inside porous scour protections (ripraps).
