Effect of Pore-Scale Anisotropic and Heterogeneous Structure on Rarefied Gas Flow in Three-Dimensional Porous Media by Wenqiang Guo, Jinshan Zhao, Gang Wang, Ming Fang, Ke Zhu

“…Using MRT-LBM, the pressure boundary conditions at the inlet and outlet are firstly dealt with using the moment-based boundary conditions, demonstrating good agreement with the analytical solutions in two benchmark tests of three-dimensional Poiseuille flow and flow through a body-centered cubic array of spheres. Combined with the Bosanquet-type effective viscosity model and Maxwellian diffuse reflection boundary condition, the gas flow at high Knudsen (<i>Kn</i>) numbers in three-dimensional porous media is simulated to study the relationship between pore-scale anisotropy, heterogeneity and <i>Kn</i>, and permeability and micro-scale slip effects in porous media. …”
