Abstract
A cellular-automata (CA) approach for investigating properties of porous media with tortuous channels and different smoothness of pore walls is proposed. This approach is aimed at combining two different CA models: the first one is intended for constructing the morphology of a porous material; the second, for simulating a fluid flow through it. The porous media morphology is obtained as a result of evolution of a cellular automaton, forming a “steady pattern.” The result is then used for simulating a fluid flow through a porous medium by applying the Lattice Gas CA model. The method has been tested on a small fragment of a porous material and implemented for investigating a carbon electrode of a hydrogen fuel cell on a multiprocessor cluster.
