◆ calculateHarmonicMeanSqrtPermeability() [1/2]

template<class ScalarType , class GridGeometry >
template<class Problem , class ElementVolumeVariables , bool scalarPerm = std::is_same<typename Problem::SpatialParams::PermeabilityType, Scalar>::value, std::enable_if_t< scalarPerm, int > = 0>
static DimWorldMatrix Dumux::CCTpfaForchheimersLaw< ScalarType, GridGeometry, false >::calculateHarmonicMeanSqrtPermeability ( const Problem &  problem,
const ElementVolumeVariables &  elemVolVars,
const SubControlVolumeFace &  scvf 
)
inlinestatic

Returns the harmonic mean of \(\sqrt{K_0}\) and \(\sqrt{K_1}\).

This is a specialization for scalar-valued permeabilities which returns a tensor with identical diagonal entries.

◆ calculateHarmonicMeanSqrtPermeability() [2/2]

template<class ScalarType , class GridGeometry >
template<class Problem , class ElementVolumeVariables , bool scalarPerm = std::is_same<typename Problem::SpatialParams::PermeabilityType, Scalar>::value, std::enable_if_t<!scalarPerm, int > = 0>
static DimWorldMatrix Dumux::CCTpfaForchheimersLaw< ScalarType, GridGeometry, false >::calculateHarmonicMeanSqrtPermeability ( const Problem &  problem,
const ElementVolumeVariables &  elemVolVars,
const SubControlVolumeFace &  scvf 
)
inlinestatic

Returns the harmonic mean of \(\sqrt{\mathbf{K_0}}\) and \(\sqrt{\mathbf{K_1}}\).

This is a specialization for tensor-valued permeabilities.

◆ calculateTransmissibility()

template<class ScalarType , class GridGeometry >
template<class Problem , class ElementVolumeVariables >
static Scalar Dumux::CCTpfaForchheimersLaw< ScalarType, GridGeometry, false >::calculateTransmissibility ( const Problem &  problem,
const Element &  element,
const FVElementGeometry &  fvGeometry,
const ElementVolumeVariables &  elemVolVars,
const SubControlVolumeFace &  scvf 
)
inlinestatic

The flux variables cache has to be bound to an element prior to flux calculations During the binding, the transmissibility will be computed and stored using the method below.

Compute the advective flux using the Forchheimer equation.

see e.g. Nield & Bejan: Convection in Porous Media [47]

The relative passability \( \eta_r\) is the "Forchheimer-equivalent" to the relative permeability \( k_r\). We use the same function as for \( k_r \) (VG, BC, linear) other authors use a simple power law e.g.: \(\eta_{rw} = S_w^3\)

Some rearrangements have been made to the original Forchheimer relation:

\[ \mathbf{v_\alpha} + c_F \sqrt{\mathbf{K}} \frac{\rho_\alpha}{\mu_\alpha } |\mathbf{v_\alpha}| \mathbf{v_\alpha} + \frac{k_{r \alpha}}{\mu_\alpha} \mathbf{K} \nabla \left(p_\alpha + \rho_\alpha g z \right)= 0 \]

This already includes the assumption \( k_r(S_w) = \eta_r(S_w)\):

  • \(\eta_{rw} = S_w^x\) looks very similar to e.g. Van Genuchten relative permeabilities
  • Fichot, et al. (2006), Nuclear Engineering and Design, state that several authors claim that \( k_r(S_w), \eta_r(S_w)\) can be chosen equal
  • It leads to the equation not degenerating for the case of \(S_w=1\), because I do not need to multiply with two different functions, and therefore there are terms not being zero.
  • If this assumption is not to be made: Some regularization needs to be introduced ensuring that not all terms become zero for \(S_w=1\).

This non-linear equations is solved for \(\mathbf{v_\alpha}\) using Newton's method and an analytical derivative w.r.t. \(\mathbf{v_\alpha}\).

The gradient of the Forchheimer relations looks as follows (mind that \(\sqrt{\mathbf{K}}\) is a tensor):

\[ f\left(\mathbf{v_\alpha}\right) = \left( \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 &0 \\ 0 & 1 &0 \\ 0 & 0 &1 \\ \end{array} \right) + c_F \frac{\rho_\alpha}{\mu_\alpha} |\mathbf{v}_\alpha| \sqrt{\mathbf{K}} + c_F \frac{\rho_\alpha}{\mu_\alpha}\frac{1}{|\mathbf{v}_\alpha|} \sqrt{\mathbf{K}} \left( \begin{array}{ccc} v_x^2 & v_xv_y & v_xv_z \\ v_yv_x & v_{y}^2 & v_yv_z \\ v_zv_x & v_zv_y &v_{z}^2 \\ \end{array} \right) \]

Note
We restrict the use of Forchheimer's law to diagonal permeability tensors so far. This might be changed to general tensors using eigenvalue decomposition to get \(\sqrt{\mathbf{K}}\)
