Modeling the pore level fluid flow in porous media using the immersed boundary method

This chapter demonstrates the potential of the immersed boundary method for the direct numerical simulation of the flow through porous media. A 2D compact finite differences method was employed to solve the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with fourth-order Runge-Kutta temporal discre...
