Scale‐dependent energy conservation and its connection to flow field instability in porous media

Abstract: It has been known for decades that isothermal flow fields in porous media can become unstable, resulting in the growth of preferential flow paths and nonmonotonic moisture profiles. The standard approach to modeling isothermal fluid transport in a porous systems is to use Richards equation with equilibrium relationships for the driving potential and monotonic transport coefficients. However, it is well known that under these conditions, solutions to Richards' equation are unconditionally stable. This has left … Show more
