摘要:

我们研究了轴对称传播的粘性重力流在一个深多孔介质,它也排水。的传播和排水的电流的模型的开发和数值求解的情况下,从一个点源的恒定输入。在这种情况下,一个稳定的状态是可能的,其中排水平衡的输入,我们提出的分析表达式所得到的稳定的配置文件和径向范围。我们证明了我们的实验,它使用的床垂直排列的管作为多孔介质,和理论预测的演变和稳定状态之间的良好协议。然而,类似的实验,使用玻璃珠作为多孔介质表现出各种意想不到的行为,包括过冲的稳态半径和随后的撤退,从而突出了多孔介质的几何形状和渗透性结构在这些系统中的重要性。

英文摘要:

We study the axisymmetric propagation of a viscous gravity current over a deep porous medium into which it also drains. A model for the propagation and drainage of the current is developed and solved numerically in the case of constant input from a point source. In this case, a steady state is possible in which drainage balances the input, and we present analytical expressions for the resulting steady profile and radial extent. We demonstrate good agreement between our experiments, which use a bed of vertically aligned tubes as the porous medium, and the theoretically predicted evolution and steady state. However, analogous experiments using glass beads as the porous medium exhibit a variety of unexpected behaviours, including overshoot of the steady-state radius and subsequent retreat, thus highlighting the importance of the porous medium geometry and permeability structure in these systems.
