Fluid-Solid Coupling Seepage-Based Numerical Simulation of Mechanical Oil Expression from Peanut

In view of effect of fluid-solid coupling on flow of oil fluids through media and effect of rheology on fluid-solid coupling, the numerical simulation models of mechanical oil expression from vegetable oil were developed. The models were solved by using of combining finite difference with finite element. The displacement experiments for extracted peanut were used to validate the models. The predicted values are in good agreement with the measured ones.
