Abstract
This study explores the complex factors influencing fluid flow and associated head loss within porous media, focusing on particle size, shape, and packing porosity. The chosen characteristic length, hydraulic radius (denoted as “r”), integrates these factors, providing a comprehensive measure for characterizing flow behavior in specific packing configurations. Crushed stones and glass spheres of varying sizes are used as porous media. Porosity, size, and shape of the media are meticulously determined to understand their impact on flow characteristics. The study’s findings offer valuable insights for researchers and designers in porous media applications, guiding the selection of appropriate characteristic length expressions. Additionally, this work contributes to a deeper understanding of porous media flow and provides a practical framework for characterizing and analyzing porous media properties, advancing the broader field of fluid dynamics in porous structures.
