Abstract

To understand turbulence over porous media, a series of PIV measurements were carried out in porous-walled channel flows. The porous walls were made of three types of foamed ceramics which had the same porosity but different permeability. For turbulence inside porous media, LES studies of fully developed flows in three different model porous media were performed. Referring to these databases, a multi-scale k − e four equation eddy viscosity model for turbulence around and/or inside porous media was developed. Through the comparison to the experimental results, the proposed model was validated with satisfactory accuracy.
