Mobility and pore-scale fluid dynamics of rate-dependent yield-stress fluids flowing through fibrous porous media

The steady flow of viscoplastic fluids through fibrous porous media is studied numerically and theoretically. We consider fluids with a plastic yield stress and a rate-dependent viscosity that can be described by the Herschel-Bulkley model. We first investigate the pore-scale flow characteristics th...
