Localized Modeling of Liquid Flow in Coupled Porous Media and Free Flow Regime

Fluid flow through porous media is a common phenomenon in different branches of science and engineering# usually flow through porous media would be combined with free flow regime# so, modeling coupled darcy and free flow regime always had great importance especially in chemical engineering# in this research, a novel local model is developed to model coupled flow regime instead of rigorous formulation# in this approach, a simplified model is used which significantly accelerates flow modeling procedure besides its accuracy# the models parameters will be tuned through optimization process# comparing the results of the obtained model with those of reference solution shows high prediction capability of the proposed method#
