The effect of the local inertial term on the fluid flow in channels partially filled with porous material

The transient hydrodynamics behavior of the fluid flow in parallel-plate channels partially filled with porous material is investigated numerically. The role of the local macroscopic inertial term in the porous domain momentum equation is studied. It is found that the effect of the local inertial term on the channel hydrodynamics behavior is insignificant when Da<1×10−6, over the entire range of 0.1<μR<10, 0
