Sensitivity analysis of Immersed Boundary Method simulations of fluid flow in dense polydisperse random grain packings

Polydisperse granular materials are ubiquitous in nature and industry. Despite this, knowledge of the momentum coupling between the fluid and solid phases in dense saturated grain packings comes almost exclusively from empirical correlations [2–4, 8] with monosized media. The Immersed Boundary Metho...
