The characteristic Galerkin finite element method for the discrete Boltzmann equation is presented to simulate fluid flows in complex geometries. The inherent geometric flexibility of the finite element method permits the easy use of simple Cartesian variables on unstructured meshes and the mesh clu

✦ Synopsis
This study numerically investigates the fully developed flow of a Newtonian fluid in a porous-saturated corrugated pipe, on the basis of a Brinkman model. The variable coefficient Helmholtz equation, which is obtained by means of an epitrochoid transformation, is solved using a spectral-Galerkin method. The effects of both the Darcy number and corrugation on the velocity field are discussed and presented graphically. The nature of these effects is documented for the first time.
