✦ Synopsis

We study flow through a single rough-walled channel by numerical simulation and present a theory for single channels and networks of channels that predicts scale dependency of the transport properties. The rough channel is modeled as the void space between two self-affine fractal surfaces. Flow fields are obtained from numerical simulations using 3D lattice gas methods which solve the Navier-Stokes equations. The flow simulations are performed at low Reynolds number. It is in this regime that we study the effect of the surface topography on the flow for various values of the mean aperture of the rough channel. For the case of tight uncorrelated channel walls we predict a power law dependency of the permeability on the length of a single rough channel measured in the direction of the main pressure gradient.

A numerical procedure is developed for the analysis of flow in a channel whose walls describe a travelling wave motion. Following a perturbation method, the primitive variables are expanded in a series with the wall amplitude as the perturbation parameter. The boundary conditions are applied at the

Heat transfer in a channel of rough wall is simulated in this work. Two kinds of roughness are considered, i.e., one assumes sandgrain roughness based on roughness model and the other regularly arranged two-dimensional ribs. No models other than sand-grain roughness implemented in the simulation. Fo
