摘要
A new model for resistance of flow through granular porous media is developed based on the average hydraulic radius model and the contracting-expanding channel model. This model is expressed as a function of tortuosity, porosity, ratio of pore diameter to throat diameter, diameter of particles, and fluid properties. The two empirical constants, 150 and 1.75, in the Ergun equation are replaced by two expressions, which are explicitly related to the pore geometry. Every parameter in the proposed model has clear physical meaning. The proposed model is shown to be more fundamental and reasonable than the Ergum equation. The model predictions are in good agreement with the existing experimental data.
