Seepage induced consolidation in permeability measurements for porous media - a finite element investigation
Adam, Clayton J. & Loughran, Jeffrey G. (2004) Seepage induced consolidation in permeability measurements for porous media - a finite element investigation. Journal of Porous Media, 7(2), pp. 101-117.
This article reports a finite-element investigation of seepage-induced consolidation in permeability measurements for a fibroporous material, prepared sugar cane. The constituents of fibroporous prepared sugar cane allow macroscopic representation of the material using coupled solid-liquid finite-element formulations, where the intrinsic permeability of the solid matrix is defined as a function of void ratio. Simulation of experiment flow cell permeability measurements predicts significant seepage-induced consolidation and nonuniform void ration distribution in the cell, particularly at low compression ratios. Permeabilty values derived from flow cell experiments at low compression ratios may be up to four times lower than the actual permeability response.
Impact and interest:
Citation countsare sourced monthly fromand citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from theindexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
