Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Simulations of Porous Medium Flow Using Ergun’s Fixed-Bed Equation

A popular equation that is often employed to represent the relationship between the pressure loss and the fluid flow in fluidized or packed granular beds is the Ergun equation, which is an extension of Darcy’s law. In this paper, the method of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is used to numeric...
