Abstract

Direct numerical simulations of the fully developed turbulent flow through a porous channel and duct are performed based on the spectral element code Nek5000. The volume-averaged Navier-Stokes (VANS) equations are implemented in order to describe the flow in the composite medium. The numerical simulations of the VANS equations are carried out at a constant value of the bulk Reynolds number when the porosity, or equivalently, the permeability of the medium varies successively. The mean and turbulent energy budgets are computed and the effect of porosity on the secondary flow in a duct is examined.
