Micro Abstract:
Coupled systems of a porous medium with an adjacent free flow appear in a wide range of industrial and environmental processes. We propose an efficient coupled model comprising three domains: a bulk porous medium (Darcy's or Forchheimer's law) at the bottom, the free flow domain (Navier-Stokes) on the top and the interface region (dynamic pore-network model) in between. This model can help to provide effective upscaled parameters required for other mechanical modeling approaches.
