Variation Of Front Amplitude , Front Speed , Front Spread In Porous Media For Different Particle Size During Oscillating Flow

This paper deals with the effect of oscillatory flow on front amplitude, front speed, front spread in porous media. The experiments are performed to analyze the response of parameters like front amplitude, front speed, front spread in porous media at Reynolds number. The solid material of 4.55mm and 6.5mm are used as spherical balls of steel material and normal water is used as a fluid. The constant head and fully saturated flow of water is maintained. The performance behavior of each parameter has also been compared at Peclet Number. The result shows the amount of energy stored in porous media of steel spherical balls diameter 4.55mm is large as compared to the porous media of steel spherical ball diameters 6.5mm.
